Remote Sensing, Vol. 14, Pages 2379: Machine Learning Algorithms for Modeling and Mapping of Groundwater Pollution Risk: A Study to Reach Water Security and Sustainable Development (Sdg) Goals in a Mediterranean Aquifer System (Remote Sensing)
 


Groundwater pollution poses a severe threat and issue to the environment and humanity overall. That is why mitigative strategies are urgently needed. Today, studies mapping groundwater risk pollution assessment are being developed. In this study, five new hybrid/ensemble machine learning (ML) models are developed, named DRASTIC-Random Forest (RF), DRASTIC-Support Vector Machine (SVM), DRASTIC-Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), DRASTIC-RF-SVM, and DRASTIC-RF-MLP, for groundwater pollution assessment in the Saiss basin, in Morocco. The performances of these models are evaluated using the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (ROC curve), precision, and accuracy. Based on the results of the ROC curve method, it is indicated that the use of hybrid/ensemble machine learning (ML) models improves the performance of the individual machine learning (ML) algorithms. In effect, the AUC value of the original DRASTIC is 0.51. Furthermore, both hybrid/ensemble models, DRASTIC-RF-MLP (AUC = 0.953) and DRASTIC-RF-SVM, (AUC = 0.901) achieve the best accuracy among the other models, followed by DRASTIC-RF (AUC = 0.852), DRASTIC-SVM (AUC = 0.802), and DRASTIC-MLP (AUC = 0.763). The results delineate areas vulnerable to pollution, which require urgent actions and strategies to improve the environmental and social qualities for the local population.
