Strategies for classifying water quality in the Cauvery River using a federated learning technique

Abstract

Artificial intelligence methods are emerging techniques used in the field of environmental protection, especially in the analysis of air, water, and soil quality. AI analyzes vast amounts of environmental data to predict pollution and provide decision-makers with the information they need to develop efficient policies. One of the most important problems in environmental analysis is data security, and many organizations are actively working to ensure the secure collection, storage, and utilization of sensitive environmental data. In addition, organizations are focusing on developing strategies to protect their data from malicious attacks, such as cyber-attacks, as well as from accidental misuses, like unauthorized access. For this purpose, we have introduced a novel water quality prediction using the Federated Learning Technique. Federated learning enables multiple parties to collaborate and train a model on their local data without sharing it with others, thereby preserving data privacy. The proposed method is applied to a Cauvery River dataset of water quality parameters, and the results demonstrate that the PSO-optimized federated learning process achieves better prediction accuracy of 87%, a precision of 85%, a recall of 93%, and an 89% F1 score.
