Adaptation of Artificial Neural Networkfor Predicting Institutional Wastewater Volume

Wastewater management and reuse are integral to water resources management [1].Efficient wastewater management includes collection, treatment, discharge into nearby streams, and/or reuse [2].All these phases of wastewater management require proper accounting for the quantities and quality of the wastewater.When wastewater is poorly managed, however, it may lead to environmental degradation [2].Typical contaminants found in urban wastewater that can degrade surface water include nutrients such as phosphates, nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia [3].These nutrients cause eutrophication of surface water bodies, among other environmental
