APPLICATION OF NEURAL NETWORKS IN WASTEWATERS MANAGEMENT IN A COASTAL KARST AREA

A complex research of coastal karst basin waters is the topic of this research. The aim of the research is to develop a model for the wastewaters management of the basin’s area in order to protect waters in the karst underground. As the research spot a particular karst basin is chosen. Municipial wastewaters are discharged into the basin without any purification and, after holding up in the underground, they appear at the spring of the river which supplies water of the biggest lake on the Balkans. Results determined by the simulation of neural network by inserting qualitative indexes of wastewaters and spring waters, indicate a satisfactory compatibility with measurements. Scientific importance of the shown research is a contribution to development of the karst waters usage and protection methods through an application of the developed model. This model has been proven as a reliable control/management element in the process of defining and prompt implementation of the necessary protective measures, particularly in accidental water pollutions.
