Effects of input/output parameters on artificial neural network model efficiency for breakthrough contaminant prediction

Groundwater quality assessment is characterized by pollution injection rates, pollution injection locations and duration of pollution injection for identifying spatial and temporal variation. In this study, spatial variations are obtained by placing observation wells in the downstream zone. Temporal...
