Abstract

This research offers a novel methodology for quantifying water needs by assessing weather variables, applying a combination of data preprocessing approaches, and an artificial neural network (ANN) that integrates using a genetic algorithm enabled particle swarm optimisation (PSOGA) algorithm. The PSOGA performance was compared with different hybrid-based metaheuristic algorithms’ behaviour, modified PSO, and PSO as benchmarking techniques. Based on the findings, it is possible to enhance the standard of initial data and select optimal predictions that drive urban water demand through effective data processing. Each model performed adequately in simulating the fundamental dynamics of monthly urban water demand as it relates to meteorological variables, proving that they were all successful. Statistical fitness measures showed that PSOGA-ANN outperformed competing algorithms.
