The water quality of the Dongjin River deteriorates during the irrigation period because the supply of river maintenance water to the main river is cut off by the mass intake of agricultural weirs located in the midstream regions. A physics-based model and a data-driven model were used to predict the water quality in the Dongjin River under various hydrological conditions. The Hydrological Simulation Program–Fortran (HSPF), which is a physics-based model, was constructed to simulate the biological oxygen demand (BOD) in the Dongjin River Basin. A Gamma Test was used to derive the optimal combinations of the observed variables, including external water inflow, water intake, rainfall, and flow rate, for irrigation and non-irrigation periods. A data-driven adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model was then built using these results. The ANFIS model built in this study was capable of predicting the BOD from the observed hydrological data in the irrigation and non-irrigation periods, without running the physics-based model. The predicted results have high confidence levels when compared with the observed data. Thus, the proposed method can be used for the reliable and rapid prediction of water quality using only monitoring data as input.
