Application of Artificial Intelligence-Based Methods in Estimating Water Consumption Productivity (Case Study: Sari City) by Ramin Fazloula, Shadi Saraf, Javad Vejahat, Alireza Emadi

“…In the groundwater sector, according to the results obtained, the wavelet network performed better in estimating the desired variables than the ANN method. In the water distribution network section, the results of wavelet analysis and the outputs of the WaterGems software revealed that the deterioration of the studied water distribution network plays a significant role in losses and reduced productivity, in such a way that about 47 percent of the water entering the network is out of reach and wasted in different ways.…”
