Abstract:

Very often, inexact, uncertain, or vague hydrological data are encountered in water researches. Statistical and fuzzy set theories are applied to deal with hydrological uncertainty problems. In this paper, the basic concept of the rough set theory is introduced and its application to hydrological data is illustrated. The proposed method is applied to water environment and environment quality evaluation of the Hang Jiang River, a major branch of the Yangtze River, in China. Our numerical applications suggest that the rough set theory is a useful tool for analysis of inexact, uncertain, or vague hydrological data.
