  • Predicting the Water Quality of Kodaikanal Lake Using Genetic Programming
    ISSN(Online): 2319-8753 ISSN (Print): 2347-6710 International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology (An ISO 3297: 2007 Certified Organization) Website: www.ijirset.com Vol. 6, Issue 3, March 2017 Predicting the Water Quality of Kodaikanal Lake Using Genetic Programming P.Kishorekumar [1], Dr.T.Velrajan [2] PG Scholar, Environmental Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering , Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai, India Professor, Department of Civil Engineering , Thiagarajar College of Engineering , Madurai, India ABSTRACT: Lake has been an important surface water source from ages but since the past two centuries the quality of lake water has been altered drastically and undoubtedly human intervention has been the primary cause for the deterioration. With alteration in lake water quality the water scarcity issues have increased quite considerably. So, keeping in view the urgency to restore lake this study has been initiated. Since lakes are vast water bodies physical analysis of every parameter is practically complex hence modeling studies are adopted using Genetic Programming (GP) tool, which is based on Darwin‟s theory of survival of fittest. This paper predicts the water quality parameters and the stimulation model was developed which was based upon the testing of data using the tool Genetic Programming. KEYWORDS: Genetic programming, lake water sampling, physico-chemical and ecological role. I.INTRODUCTION Lakes are an important feature of the Earth's landscape. They are extremely valuable ecosystems and provide a range of goods and services to humankind .The lakes and reservoirs, all over the country without exception, are in varying degrees of environmental degradation which is due to encroachments eutrophication (from domestic and industrial effluents) and silt.
