Abstract

At present, at two water stations along Chao Phraya River, the main river of the central region of Thailand, the salinity in the river exceeds the raw water salinity standard for tap water production that must be lower than 0.25 g/L. During December to May, since 2013, the salinity value exceeded the raw water standard, strongly affecting the raw water management of Metropolitan Waterworks Authority. Surveillance and prediction of salinity level at the river mouth at Klong Lat Pho Water Quality Monitoring Station, downriver from Sam Lae station, in advance, will be beneficial to the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority’s raw water management. The purpose of this study was to forecast the hourly salinity levels at Khlong Lat Pho Water Quality Monitoring Station. The methods used were Exponential Smoothing and Winter’s Linear and Seasonal and Exponential Smoothing (EXPOW). Both forecasting methods showed a very low mean of square error (MSE): 0.1551 when the exponential smoothing method was used with alpha= 0.9995 and 0.4869 when the EXPOW was used with alpha = 0.0618, gamma = 0.9995, and beta = 0. 0001. Nevertheless, the exponential smooth method fell out of favor since, for long-term prediction, its predicted value converged to a constant value, 0.2405, useless for predicting seasonal variation. On the other hand, the EXPOW method, even though less effective in terms of MSE, produced more reliable short and long-term forecasts for salinity at Khlong Lad Pho Water Quality Monitoring Station.
