Forecasting monthly groundwater level fluctuations in coastal aquifers using hybrid Wavelet packet–Support vector regression

TLDR
In this paper, a hybrid Wavelet packet-Support vector regression (WP-SVR) model is proposed for forecasting monthly groundwater level fluctuations observed in three shallow unconfined coastal aquifers.
Abstract
This research demonstrates the state-of-the-art capability of Wavelet packet analysis in improving the forecasting efficiency of Support vector regression (SVR) through the development of a novel hybrid Wavelet packet–Support vector regression (WP–SVR) model for forecasting monthly groundwater level fluctuations observed in three shallow unconfined coastal aquifers. The Sequential Minimal Optimization Algorithm-based SVR model is also employed for comparative study with WP–SVR model. The input variables used for modeling were monthly time series of total rainfall, average temperature, mean tide level, and past groundwater level observations recorded during the period 1996–2006 at three observation wells located near Mangalore, India. The Radial Basis function is employed as a kernel function during SVR modeling. Model parameters are calibrated using the first seven years of data, and the remaining three years data are used for model validation using various input combinations. The performance of b...

Prediction of Groundwater Level in Ardebil Plain Using Support Vector Regression and M5 Tree Model

TL;DR: The results indicated that both SVR and M5 decision tree models performed well for the prediction of groundwater level in the Ardebil plain, however, the results obtained from the M4 decision tree model are more straightforward, more easily applied, and simpler to interpret than those from the SVR.

Impacts of climate change on groundwater level and irrigation cost in a groundwater dependent irrigated region

TL;DR: In this article, an ensemble of general circulation model (GCMs) were used for the projection of climate, an empirical hydrological model based on support vector machine (SVM) was used to simulate groundwater level from climatic variables, and a multiple-linear regression (MLR) model is used to estimate the irrigation cost due to the changes in groundwater level.
