Graphical User Interface Application in Matlab Environment for Water and Air Quality Process Monitoring

Abstract

The principle aim of water and air quality modelling is to describe and to predict the observed effects of a change in the river and air water system. They can be used to forecast the characteristics of water and air quality conditions in aquatics and air systems in order to ensure the water and air quality objectives will be maintained under a wide variety conditions as well as the condition of air. Therefore, friendly user interfaces is introduced in which it is likely to have the largest impact on whether or not a particular decision support system is actually used by decision makers. Indeed, Graphical User Interface (GUI) has progressively been used in water and air quality management information systems for over a past decade purposely for validation and verification of expert system in reservoir management and also in air pollution index. Numerous researchers have also remarked that appropriate and intelligent use of GUI can help increase the effectiveness of management information systems. The framework of the underlying database is also general (and standardise) enough to allow users to add new input data without major hassle. The system also offers a Graphical Interface Editing Sub-module, which allows a system administrator to change the water quality data of other rivers as well as the air quality data. This study is about exploring more towards the advanced monitoring system of the river water and air quality by neural network approach, which later will be presented in GUI for online testing/prediction which result in ease of monitoring, diagnostic and control.
