Wastewater flow forecasting model based on the nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous inputs (NARX) neural network

Wastewater flow forecasts are key components in the short- and long-term management of sewer systems. Forecasting flows in sewer networks constitutes a considerable uncertainty for operators due to the nonlinear relationship between causal variables and wastewater flows. This work aimed to fill the...
