Estimating sediment flow rate from a drainage area plays an essential role in better watershed planning and management. In this study, the validity of simple and wavelet-coupled Artificial Intelligence (AI) models was analyzed for daily Suspended Sediment (SSC) estimation of highly dynamic Koyna River basin of India. Simple AI models such as the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) were developed by supplying the original time series data as an input without pre-processing through a Wavelet (W) transform. The hybrid wavelet-coupled W-ANN and W-ANFIS models were developed by supplying the decomposed time series sub-signals using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). In total, three mother wavelets, namely Haar, Daubechies, and Coiflets were employed to decompose original time series data into different multi-frequency sub-signals at an appropriate decomposition level. Quantitative and qualitative performance evaluation criteria were used to select the best model for daily SSC estimation. The reliability of the developed models was also assessed using uncertainty analysis. Finally, it was revealed that the data pre-processing using wavelet transform improves the model’s predictive efficiency and reliability significantly. In this study, it was observed that the performance of the Coiflet wavelet-coupled ANFIS model is superior to other models and can be applied for daily SSC estimation of the highly dynamic rivers. As per sensitivity analysis, previous one-day SSC (St-1) is the most crucial input variable for daily SSC estimation of the Koyna River basin.

The supremacy of quantum approach is able to provide the solutions which are not practically feasible on classical machines. This paper introduces a novel quantum model for time series data which depends on the appropriate length of intervals. In this study, the effects of these drawbacks are elaborately illustrated, and some significant measures to remove them are suggested, such as use of degree of membership along with mid-value of the interval. All these improvements signify the effective results in case of quantum time series, which are verified and validated with real-time datasets.

Information on suspended sediment load (SSL) is fundamental for numerous water resources management and environmental protection projects. This phenomenon has the inherent complexity due to a large number of vague parameters and existence of both spatial variability of the basin characteristics and temporal climatic patterns. This complexity turns into a barrier to get accurate prediction by conventional linear methods. On the other hand, the extent of the noise on hydrological data reduces the performance of data-driven models like Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Although ANNs could capture the complex nonlinear relationship between input and output parameters, being data-driven method positioned it in a state of need to preprocessed data. In this paper, the application of ANN approach focusing on wavelet- based denoising method for modeling daily streamflow-sediment relationship was proposed. The daily streamflow and SSL data observed at outlet of the Potomac River in USA were used as the case study. Achieving this purpose, Daubechies (db) was used as mother wavelet to decompose both streamflow and sediment time series into detailed and approximation subseries. Decomposition at level ten via db3 and at level eight via db5 were examined for streamflow and SSL time series, respectively. At first, the appropriate input combination with raw data to estimate current SSL was determined and re-imposed to ANN with denoised data.  The comparison of results reveals that in term of determination coefficient, the obtained result by denoised data was improved up to 23.2% with raged to use noisy, raw data and this exhibits that denoised data can be employed productively in ANN-based daily SSL forecasting.
