The objectve of ths stud s to vestgate the abltes of a artfcal eural etworks model t o predct the total dssolved sold (TDS) ad electrcal coductvt (EC). Water qualt varables such as ph, calcum (Ca ), magesum (Mg ),sodum (Na ), potassum (K + ), bcarboate (HCO3-), chlorde (Cl ), trate (NO3 - ) ad sulfate ( SO4 ) were used as the put data to obta the output of the eural etwork(tds ad EC). Performace of the ANN models was evaluated usg correlato coeffcet (R), Nash- Sutclffe coeffcet of effcec (NASH), root mea square error ( RMS), Normalsed Root Mea Square Error (NRMSE) ad Mea absolute error (MAE). computed from the measured ad model computed values of the depedet varables.the results of ths stud reveal that the ANN- MLP (9, 9, 1) model gves the b est estmates for the TDS predcto. The results of eural etwork modelg to predct electrcal coductvt (EC) dcate that the ANN- MLP (9, 1, 1) model showed better predctve ablt the determato of EC. The detfed ANN models ca be used as tools for the computato of g r oudwater qualt parameters Zahrez bas. K e w ords Artf cal eural etwork (ANN), Groudwater M ultlaer perceptro, Zahrez bas I. IN TRODUCTION Zahrez bas s located the Hgh Plateaus of the orth Algera, characterzed b a sem-a rd clmate where aual rafall s hghl rregular. Because of the scarct of surface w ater, groudwater s a major source of water s uppl d fferet ctes aroud the stud area. Groudwater resources the stud area occur four ma hdrogeologcal uts: (1) Moploquaterar cossts of coglomerate ad cla, () Turoa made up of fractured l mestoe, (3) A lba, ad (4) Barrema aqufer made up of s adstoe [1]. The moploquaterar aqufer s a source of fresh water for the ct of Djelfa wth a populato of 1,491,37 habtats. Groudwater qualt s affected b a wde rage of atural ad athropogec factors. Natural p rocesses (hdrologcal, phscal, ad chemcal) ma affect the characterstcs ad cocetrato of chemcal elemets groudwater [- 3 ]. I addto, there are also athropogec mpacts due to urbazato, dustral ad agrcultural a ctvtes the bas.

A rtfcal eural etworks (ANNs) models have bee successfull used hdrologcal processes, water resources, water qualt predcto [6-9 ]. Nroobakhsh et al. [8] used two ANN etworks, multlaer perceptro (MLP) ad radal b ass fucto (RBF) to compute the total dssolved sold (TDS) cocetratos for the Jajrood Rver of Ira. I ther stud, the foud that MLP ad RBF are able to smulate water qualt varables of Jajrood Rver wth more tha 9% accurac. Sgh et al. [8] computed dssolved oge (DO) a d bochemcal oge demad (BOD) levels the Gomt Rver Ida usg three- laer feed forward eural etworks wth back propagato learg. The coeffcet of determato for modeled values ad observed DO values w ere.7,.74, ad.76 for the trag, valdato ad test s ets, respectvel. The ma objectve of ths stud s to costruct a artfcal eural etwork (ANN) model for the predcto of total dssolved solds (TDS) ad electrcal c oductvt (EC) Zahrez bas ad demostrate ts applcato to comple water qualt data as how t ca mprove the terpretato of the results. Here, we have vestgated the possblt of trag ANN models correlatg the prmar water qualt varables (depedet) w th ther secodar attrbute (depedet varable). The TDS ad EC of the groudwater were take as the depedet varables here ad set of other parameters costtuted the depedet varables. A. S tud area I I. MA TERIALS AND METHODS T he Zahrez bas (Fg.1) s oe of the edorhec bass of the vast steppes rego the cetral orther part of Algera. The Zahrez hdrologcal bas covers appromatel 8,989 km. Topograph of the area s relatvel flat wth a elevato ragg from 9 to 133 meters above mea sea l evel [1]. The catchmet les betwee logtudes 15 to 4 8 E ad lattudes t o 35 3 N. The area s characterzed b a sem- ard clmate, tpcall M edterraea, wth a rregular aual rafall. The mea a ual rafall ad potetal evapotrasprato are 5 ad 138 mm, respectvel, eceedg rafall for most of the ear. The mea mothl temperature vares betwee 3 C ad 5 C. The precptato perod a tpcal ear s betwee O ctober ad March ad the dr perod ca eted from Aprl to September [1]. The ephemeral rvers of the rego, locall called wad, have a termttet flow regme, because the d r seaso s tpcall ver log (6 8 moths) ever ear.

2 A rtf cal eural etwork modelg of the groudwater qualt (case Stud: Zahrez bas Algera) B. W ater qualt data set A tot al of 47 water samples groudwater samples were collected durg samplg campags carred out October 1 at wells varous parts of the stud area (Fg. 1). Electrcal coductvt (EC), temperature ad ph were measured the feld, usg the portable Oro EC ad ph m eters. Water samples were fltered through a.45 µ m cellulose membrae ad collected 1 ml polethlee bottles for major ad mor elemet aalss whch have bee doe at the Natoal Agec for Water Resources + + (ANRH). Catos (Ca, Mg, Na + +, K ) were aalzed b - atomc absorpto spectrometr, aos (Cl, SO4 - ad NO3 - ) b hgh performace oc lqud chromatograph (HPILC). Bcarboates (HCO3 - ) were determed b acd- base ttrato m ethod [11]. C. D ata processg Before the etwork trag, the orgal data were ormalzed accordace wth the requremets of the BP a lgorthm. The values appled the put ad output laers were ormalzed b the followg formula the rage of ( 1 ). orm m ( 1) ma m m ma orm Where,,, ad deote, respectvel, values of put (output) varables, mmum value of put (output) varable, mamum value of put (output) varable ad the ormalzed value of. The de- ormalzed value of the ANN was computed usg: t m orm ma m ( ) Where t, m, m a ad orm are, respectvel, real valued output varable, mmum ad mamum values of real- valued output ad the ormalzed output value from the eural- A NN model. T he proporto of ANN trag set from the avalable data raged geerall from 5% to 8%.The proporto of ANN testg set from the avalable data s about 15 to % ad the proporto of the valdato data set s a bout (5 to 15%) [ 1]. D. A rtf cal eural etworks modelg (ANNs) A NN models have bee used successfull to model comple olear put output relatoshps partcularl stuatos where the eplct form of the relato betwee the varables volved s ukow [13-14]. As a olear statstcal t echque, ANNs ca be used to solve problems that caot be addressed b tradtoal approaches [15]. The ANN archtecture s composed of a put laer, a certa umber of hdde laers ad a output laer forward coectos. T he put laer troduces data to the model ad calculates the weghted sum of the put(s). The hdde laer or laers processes data, ad the output laer produce the results of the ANN model. Each laer s com- posed of oe or more basc e lemet(s) called a artfcal euro or a ode, whch s coected to a etwork b a weght factor. A feed- forward eural etwork s commol used for predctg ad forecastg water qualt varables[16-18]. The major steps f or developmet of ANN models clude defg the s utable model puts, specfg etwork tpe, pre- processg ad parttog of the avalable data; d etermg etwork archtecture; defg model performace crtera; trag (optmzato of coecto weghts); ad valdatg the model [19-1]. E. Mult- l aer perceptro (MLP) A multlaer feed-forward etwork or mult- laer perceptros (MLP), orgall proposed b Rumelhart ad McClellad [], are the most commol used ad well- researched class of ANNs [3]. A MLP cossts of a put laer, whch receves the values of the put varables, a output laer, whch provdes the model output, ad oe or more hdde laers. Nodes each laer are tercoected through weghted acclc arcs from each precedg laer to t he followg, wthout lateral or feedback coectos [4]. F. Actvato f ucto The actvato (trasfer) fucto determes the respose of a ode to the total put sgal t receves. The most commol used actvato fucto, amed logstc sg- mod- tpe fucto was used ths stud for the hdde laer [5-6]. However, a lear- tpe actvato fucto was used for the output laer, as suggested b Maer ad Dad [1] ad Rumelhart et al. [7]. The sgmod fucto s a bouded, mootoc, o- decreasg fucto that provdes a graded, o-l ear respose [8], whereas a lear- trasfer fucto calculates a euro s output b smpl returg the value passed to t. The mathematcal e pressos for these two fuctos are as follows: Lear fucto: L ogstc s gmod fucto: f ( ) ( 3 ) 1 f ( ) ( 4) 1 e( ) Aother sgmod fucto s the ta- sgmod fucto, def ed b T a sgmod fucto: 1 e( ) f ( ) 1 e( ) G. M odelg performace crtera trasfer To determe the performace of each of the selected etwork model, fve dfferet crtera were used: the root mea square error (RMSE, the ormalzed Root Mea Square Error (NRMSE), the Nash- Sutclffe Effcec Ide ( NASH), ad the mea absolute absolute error (MAE), ad t he correlato coeffcet (R). The fve dces are c omputed accordg to the followg equatos: a ) Root Mea Square Error s RMSE: ( 5) 159
