Abstract: | Frequent and accurate estimation of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in surface waters and hydraulic schemes is of prime importance for proper design, operation and management of many hydraulic projects. in the present study, a long short-term memory (LSTM) was considered for predicting daily suspended sediment concentration in a river. The LSTM extends recurrent neural network with memory cells, instead of recurrent units, to store and output information, easing the learning of temporal relationships on long time scales. To build the model, daily observed time series of river discharge (Q) and SSC in the Schuylkill River in the United States were used. The results of the proposed model were evaluated and compared with the feedforward neural network and the adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system models which were trained using three different learning algorithms and widely used in the literature for prediction of daily SSC. The comparison of prediction accuracy of the models demonstrated that the LSTM model could satisfactory predict SSC time series, and adequately estimate cumulative suspended sediment load (SSL). |
