Dear scholars, Is there a way to create a model (or an existing one) that simulates the growth of water hyacinths on bodies of water, such as lakes, and assesses their impact on water resources?
Yes, there are various modeling approaches and tools available to simulate the growth of water hyacinths (Eichhornia crassipes) in bodies and assess their impact on water resources. These models typically combine ecological and hydrological principles, here are some approaches to consider:
Dear Max Leman,
Thank you for genuine response. From the mentioned models can you suggest me a single or two models that combine ecological and hydrological principles and will not request field data collection. Especially the model you have used before if any.
Thanks, in advance.
I think the FLUX3D model is an example that can simulate water hyacinth transport.
Persanally i have used MIKE software (MIKE 21 and MIKE 3) but my goals were different from yours.
Also think about Water Eutrophication Model (WEM) which is an example that models nutrient-driven algal and macrophyte growth, including water hyacinths or you can combine your choice with a separate ecological model, for example to include water hyacinth growth you also can use SWAT watershed-scale model.
Cheers!
Hello,
In reference to model approach 7.(remote sensing and machine learning).
Kindly lightly guide me on my approach to modelling water hyacinth on Lake Edward.
I was planning to acquire four factors i.e. (Temperature, Nitrogen, Turbidity, Salinity) that affect water hyacinth among the many and the spatial temporal extents of the water hyacinth.
Then train a random forest algorithm and test its accuracy of prediction using a test set.
I have never carried out such an operation so that is why am seeking advice whether its do-able.
Thank you.
Max Leman
