Abstract. Perceptron model for system environmental assessment of water quality in river basins was formalized. The model was tested in basins of river.

Keywords:

Perceptron model, water quality, river basins.

1 Problem statement Data analysis of monitoring observations requires formal their submission for objective spatial assessment of water quality and system decision-making [1]. The existing methods of water quality ecological assessment [2] is characterized by the hierarchical nature of gradual complication from simple to complex integrated assessments, but adapted to only one observation point. To implement the basin management principle it is stated a problem to develop a systematic approach which is to select an interconnected set of points in the river basin. The observation points are elements of the system. To formalize the system model of decision making a perceptron model is the most appropriate [3,4], the feature of which is an ensemble of perceptron type neurons that interact at the basin level. Therefore, the objective of the work is to develop a perceptron model and software package for the automated ecosystem spatial-temporal analysis of water quality, to compare the changes in individual and integrated parameters at different levels of hierarchy of criterion functions.

2 Formalizing the problem of water system classification

Formalizing the perceptron model is developing an operation algorithm for formal neurons of perceptron type and their interaction at the level of condition parameters of the river basin. Formal neuron is an elementary perceptron, i.e. a solving system at a separate point, that consists of several layers, which are formed respectively by the elements of three types: sensory elements, i.e. receptors (S-elements), that record hydrochemical parameters concentration at a given point; associative elements (A-elements) that carry out a threshold selection; R-elements of decision-making, that implement integrated assessments of water quality (numerical, graphical, logical and linguistic) by the hierarchy levels. The block diagram of such a perceptron as to the water quality assessment is shown in Figure 1.

Hierarchy level I-classes and categories of certain parameters by the concentrations Sk ; Hierarchy level II - environmental assessment of water quality by the groups of parameters (salt content, tropho- saprobiotic (sanitation and epidemiological) and toxic and radioactive agents content); Hierarchy level III - generalized index of water quality. At the first hierarchy level of the hydrochemical parameters are presented as a vector of their concentrations: for the salt block parameters (,, SSS ); for the tropho-saprobiotic block parameters ( ,,... SSS ); for the 131211 −12 ,2,221 nn 2 parameters block of water pollution by specific toxic and radioactive agents ( ,,... SSS ). −13 ,3,331 nn 3 At the A-level elements numerical, graphical and logical-linguistic assessments are made using the average and worst values (for some period of time) of sensory elements. Using some discretization indices of the signal Sij the numerical value of water quality of Lj class and l j category is determined by using the following equation:

⎧ jj k−1 k ⎪ , ij ≤≤ PSPthenlL ijij ; Sij)( =⎨ (1) ⎩⎪ 1 ∪∪∈= nnji 2].;1[];1[]3;1[;3,2,1

The output signals of A-elements are used at the second level of the hierarchy to calculate the integral indices using three blocks of parameters for the average values and for the values of parameters that characterize the worst conditions. The calculation is made by using the following formulas:

nk nk nk nk j j R,сер = j ∑∑ j ,/ z,сер = j ∑∑ alaqaLaQ j ;/ j=1 j=1 j=1 j=1 j j QR max, =max L qz max, = maxl (2)

where QQ RaverpR max,,, - average and worst index values of every blocks to determine the classes; , ,qq zaverpz max, - average and worst index values to determine the categories; a j - weighting coefficients: ⎧ ,1 theif parameters knownis ; a j = ⎨ ⎩ ,0 theif unknownisparametrs , іnformatio aviablenotisns . ,rR - current indices by the parameters of three blocks = = cbarCbAR ).,,;,,( Block indices sampling by the intervals similarly (1) allows to determine the classes and categories of water quality at the second level of the hierarchy. The values of block indices can be fractional . This allows to differentiate the water quality assessment, make it more accurate for determining the subcategory of water quality as well as to characterize verbally water quality. The last line consists of a single R-element. At the third level of the hierarchy the integral index II ),( averp EE max of integrated environmental assessment is calculated using the formulas:

3 3 = ;3/ = qIqI .3/ (3) Eaverp ∑ ,averpr Emax ∑ r max, r =1 r =1

Threshold selection by the intervals of subcategories of the integrated environmental assessment allows to determine classes, categories and subcategories of water quality at the sampling point of hydrochemical parameters. The system ecological assessment of water quality in the basin or in the part of the basin as well as lengthways the river channel (Fig. 2) is made using the ensemble of relevant neurons. A schematic map of the basin is generated with plotting on the map the sampling points as a visualization element of the environmental assessment. The feature of the system model (Fig. 2) is the possibility of making the complete environmental assessment that takes into account interim evaluations of output values of the neural network ensemble at all levels of hierarchy (Fig. 2) Thus, the matrix S, composed of the sensor elements of each sampling points, determines the matrix of the neural network A (S) for S- A transformation relations in the matrix of classes and categories.

The system spatially-temporal analysis of water quality using the ensemble of perceptron neurons makes it possible to identify the most promising directions of decision making to improve water quality in river basins.

3. The results of system environmental assessment of water quality (the case of the Desna river)

For the ecosystem assessments the schematic map (Fig. 3) of the spatial location of water quality observation points along the Desna river was generated. Processing the data from the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources [5] of for the period of three years (2009- 2011) enabled to make the spatially-temporal assessments by the average and worst values.

Thus, the assessment according to the first block (parameters - sum of ions, chlorides and sulfates amounts) and calculation using the indices of salt composition ( I ,1 averp , I max,1 ,) showed that the water at the Desna river station by the average and worst values of І1 is in the range (1,0 ≤ I1 ≤ 2,0) and belongs to the first class of the first category, and in some cases to the second class of the second category respectively. Water is described as "excellent" and "very clean" by I ,1 averp and "very good" and "clean" by I max,1 .

Fig. 4. Classification of water quality according to the classes and categories at the sampling points by ammonium nitrogen parameters (2011)

According to the water quality parameters the most unfavorable is the block of tropho-saprobiotic parameters. According to the classification [2] the water of the Desna river almost at all observation points is of the third class, which specifies it as eutrophic, transient by the quality from "good", "quite clean" to "satisfactory" and "slightly polluted." The worst values by the tropho- saprobiotic parameters were recorded in 2011 by the ammonium nitrogen parameter (Fig. 4).

As to the parameters of specific toxic agents, it was revealed that their values are within normal limits and the water in the Desna river during the study period according to the third block belongs to the first class of the first category (Table 1). The analysis of the results has showed that water quality in the Desna river according to the three blocks of parameters is fairly stable over the years. The example of intermediate calculation of average and maximum block indices and value of respective environmental indices is given in Table 2.

Conclusions

The perceptron model that enables to make a hierarchical ecosystem assessment of water quality in river basins is proposed. Testing the software package in the case of the Desna river has showed the possibility of implementing the ecosystem approach for the assessment of classes and categories by some parameters. The calculation of block indices and combined integrated assessments of water quality allow to specify water quality based on the linguistic evaluations.
