Description
This project aims to develop an integrated watershed-scale Water Demand Forecasting Model (WDFM) for the South Saskatchewan River Basin of Alberta. The model will support water availability efforts by simulating and forecasting water demands across multiple sectors including municipal, irrigation, stock watering, industrial, and commercial. It will use a hybrid approach with modular design, leveraging Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence techniques, and be built on the GoldSim platform. The scope includes building, training, and testing ML/AI models and incorporating available datasets.
