摘要

The Water Quality Index (WQI) is a widely utilized tool for assessing water quality issues, playing a crucial role in identifying pollution sources and informing water quality management strategies. However, conventional WQI models typically require input from dozens of water quality parameters, the measurement of which is both time-consuming and labor-intensive. To address this limitation, this study proposes a novel water quality assessment model, named MVIE-LSTM, designed to achieve rapid cost-effective WQI evaluation. First, a Missing Value Interpolation Expansion (MVIE) method is introduced to fill in missing water quality parameters as monthly averages. This approach reduces the need for frequent chemical property measurements by substituting actual values with interpolated data. Next, a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-based model is built to process large-scale datasets, generating WQI predictions based on a comprehensive set of water quality parameters. Experimental results demonstrate that the MVIE-LSTM model maintains a high level of accuracy even when utilizing only six water quality parameters. Furthermore, the proposed model exhibits superior prediction performance (MAE = 3.5128, RMSE = 4.5019, and R2 = 0.9024) compared to common models, including SVM, RNN and CNN.
