The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted various aspects of life, including environmental conditions. Surface water quality (WQ) is one area affected by lockdowns imposed to control the virus's spread. Numerous recent studies have revealed considerable impact on surface WQ. In response, this research aimed assess in Ireland using an advanced WQ model. To achieve goal, six years monitoring data from 2017 2022 were collected for nine indicators Cork Harbour, Ireland, before, during, and after lockdowns. These include pH, temperature (TEMP), salinity (SAL), biological oxygen demand (BOD5), dissolved (DOX), transparency (TRAN), three nutrient enrichment indicators-dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), molybdate reactive phosphorus (MRP), total oxidized (TON). results showed that lockdown had a significant indicators, particularly TEMP, TON, BOD5. Over study period, most within permissible limit except MRP, with exception during COVID-19. During pandemic, TON DIN decreased, while improved. contrast, COVID-19, at 7% sites deteriorated. Overall, Harbour was categorized as "good," "fair," "marginal" classes over period. Compared temporal variation, improved 17% period Harbour. However, no trend observed. Furthermore, analyzed model's performance assessing indicate model could be effective tool evaluating lockdowns' quality. can provide valuable information decision-making planning protect aquatic ecosystems.

Existing water quality index (WQI) models assess using a range of classification schemes. Consequently, different methods provide number interpretations for the same properties that contribute to considerable amount uncertainty in correct quality. The aims this study were evaluate performance model order classify coastal correctly completely new scheme. Cork Harbour data was used study, which collected by Ireland's environmental protection agency (EPA). In present four machine-learning classifier algorithms, including support vector machines (SVM), Naïve Bayes (NB), random forest (RF), k-nearest neighbour (KNN), and gradient boosting (XGBoost), utilized identify best predicting classes widely seven WQI models, whereas three are recently proposed authors. KNN (100% 0% wrong) XGBoost (99.9% 0.1% algorithms outperformed accurately models. validation results indicate outperformed, accuracy (1.0), precision (0.99), sensitivity specificity F1 (0.99) score, predict Moreover, compared higher prediction accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, score found weighted quadratic mean (WQM) unweighted root square (RMS) respectively, each class. findings showed WQM RMS could be effective reliable assessing terms classification. Therefore, helpful providing accurate information researchers, policymakers, research personnel monitoring more effectively.

With the significant increase in WQI applications worldwide and lack of specific application guidelines, accuracy reliability models is a major issue. It has been reported that produce uncertainties during various stages their including: (i) water quality indicator selection, (ii) sub-index (SI) calculation, (iii) weighting (iv) aggregation sub-indices to calculate overall index. This research provides robust statistically sound methodology for assessment model uncertainties. Eight are considered. The Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) technique was applied estimate uncertainty, while Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) algorithm utilised predict at each sampling site. functions were found contribute considerable uncertainty hence affect - they contributed 12.86% 10.27% summer winter applications, respectively. Therefore, selection function needs be made with care. A low less than 1% produced by processes. Significant statistical differences between functions. weighted quadratic mean (WQM) provide plausible coastal waters reduced levels. findings this study also suggest unweighted root means squared (RMS) could potentially used quality.

In marine ecosystems, both living and non-living organisms depend on "good" water quality. It depends a number of factors, one the most important is quality water. The index (WQI) model widely used to assess quality, but existing models have uncertainty issues. To address this, authors introduced two new WQI models: weight based weighted quadratic mean (WQM) unweighted root squared (RMS) models. These were in Bay Bengal, using seven indicators including salinity (SAL), temperature (TEMP), pH, transparency (TRAN), dissolved oxygen (DOX), total oxidized nitrogen (TON), molybdate reactive phosphorus (MRP). Both ranked between "fair" categories, with no significant difference models' results. showed considerable variation computed scores, ranging from 68 88 an average 75 for WQM 70 76 72 RMS. did not any issues sub-index or aggregation functions, had high level sensitivity (R2 = 1) terms spatio-temporal resolution waterbodies. study demonstrated that approaches effectively assessed waters, reducing improving accuracy score.
