Abstract :

Sixteen stations on Zarrinehroud River were sampled and parameters like temperature, alkalinity, Ph, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen and major anions and cations were measured on water samples. Afterwards, Pearson correlation coefficient between EC and other parameters were determined and the ones with lower cost of measurement were considered as the inputs of neural network models. Finally, the model number 5 with tangent Simulating algorithm and Levenberg-Marquet training Algorithm with minimum prediction error was accepted. The maximum determination coefficient, RMSE and NRMSE Were estimated to be 0.98, 168.33 and 0.28 respectively. Furthermore, it is observed that pH has a remarkable sensitivity more over 60 percent on the artificial neural network prediction.
