Résumé

Water quality monitoring is essential for managing water resources and ensuring human and environmental health. However, obtaining reliable data can be challenging and costly, especially in complex systems such as estuaries. To address this problem, we propose a novel deep learning-based approach that uses limited available data to accurately estimate and reconstruct critical water quality variables, such as electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity. Our approach included two tasks, numerical modeling and historical reconstruction, and was applied to the Seine River in the Normandy region of France at four quality stations. In the first task, we evaluated four deep learning approaches (GRU, BiLSTM, BiLSTM-Attention, and CNN-BiLSTM-Attention) to numerically simulate each variable for each station under different input data selection scenarios. We found that incorporating the quality data with the water level data collected at the various stations into the input data improved the accuracy of the water quality data simulation. Combining water levels from multiple stations reliably reproduced electrical conductivity, especially at stations near the sea where tidal fluctuations control saltwater intrusion in the area. While each model had its strengths, the CNN-BiLSTM-Attention model performed best in complex tasks with dissimilar input trends, and the GRU model outperformed other models in simple monitoring tasks with similar input-target trends. The second task involved automatically searching the optimal configurations for completing the missing historical data in sequential order using the modeling task results. The electrical conductivity data were filled before the dissolved oxygen data, which were in turn more reliable than the turbidity simulation. The deep learning models accurately reconstructed 15 years of water quality data using only six and a half years of modeling data. Overall, this research demonstrates the potential of deep learning approaches with their limitations and discusses the best configurations to improve water quality monitoring and reconstruction.
