Abstract

The groundwater resources are the essential sources for irrigation and agriculture management. Forecasting groundwater levels (GWL) for the current and future periods is an essential topic of watershed management. The prediction of GWL helps prevent overexploitation. The Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average model (ARIMA) is a widely known linear statistical model. One of the drawbacks of the ARIMA models is that they may not capture all existing patterns, such as non-linear parts of time series. This article introduces a new hybrid model, namely the ARIMA-Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network, to capture the linear and nonlinear components of a GWL time series in the Yazd-Ardekn Plain in Iran. This study applied the ARIMALSTM in forecasting three-, six-, and nine-month-ahead GWL. To determine the hyperparameters of the LSTM algorithm, the Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA), sine cosine optimisation algorithm (SCOA), particle swarm optimisation algorithm (PSOA), and genetic algorithm (GA) were coupled with the LSTM model. Two different scenarios were devised to introduce new input combinations. In the first scenario, the residual values of the ARIMA model and the lagged GWL data were inserted into hybrid and standalone LSTM models for forecasting the GWL. In the second scenario, the summation of the outputs of the ARIMA and LSTM models gave the final outputs. In terms of the content of three-month-ahead GWL predictions for the second scenario, the ARIMALSTM-SSA produced better results than the ARIMA-LSTM-SCOA, ARIMA-LSTM-PSOA, ARIMA-LSTM-GA, ATIMA-LSTM, LSTM, and ARIMA algorithms, which had lower mean absolute error values (MAE) of 5%, 9.4%, 15%, 38%, 42%, and 47%, respectively. However, the general results indicated that an increased forecasting horizon reduced the accuracy of the models. The new hybrid ARIMA-LSTM-SSA model was highly capable of forecasting other hydrological variables for capturing non-linear and linear elements of the time series.
