- Groundwater is an important source to supply drinking water demands in both arid and semi-arid regions. Nevertheless, locating high quality drinking water is a major challenge in such areas. Against this background, this study proceeds to utilize and compare five decision tree-based data mining algorithms including Ordinary Decision Tree (ODT), Random Forest (RF), Random Tree (RT), Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID), and Iterative Dichotomiser 3 (ID3) for rule induction in order to identify high quality groundwater zones for drinking purposes. The proposed methodology works by initially extracting key relevant variables affecting water quality (electrical conductivity, pH, hardness and chloride) out of a total of eight existing parameters, and using them as inputs for the rule induction process. The algorithms were evaluated with reference to both continuous and discrete datasets. The findings were speculative of the superiority, performance-wise, of rule induction using the continuous dataset as opposed to the discrete dataset. Based on validation results, in continuous dataset, RF and ODT showed higher and RT showed acceptable performance. The groundwater quality maps were generated by combining the effective parameters distribution maps using inducted rules from RF, ODT, and RT, in GIS environment. A quick glance at the generated maps reveals a drop in the quality of groundwater from south to north as well as from east to west in the study area. The RF showed the highest performance (accuracy of 97.10%) among its counterparts; and so the generated map based on rules inducted from RF is more reliable. The RF and ODT methods are more suitable in the case of continuous dataset and can be applied for rule induction to determine water quality with higher accuracy compared to other tested algorithms.

- The size, volume, variety, and velocity of geospatial data collected by geo-sensors, people, and organizations are increasing rapidly. Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) are ongoing to facilitate the sharing of stored data in a distributed and homogeneous environment. Extracting high-level information and knowledge from such datasets to support decision making undoubtedly requires a relatively sophisticated methodology to achieve the desired results. A variety of spatial data mining techniques have been developed to extract knowledge from spatial data, which work well on centralized systems. However, applying them to distributed data in SDI to extract knowledge has remained a challenge. This paper proposes a creative solution, based on distributed computing and geospatial web service technologies for knowledge extraction in an SDI environment. The proposed approach is called Knowledge DiscoveryWeb Service (KDWS), which can be used as a layer on top of SDIs to provide spatial data users and decision makers with the possibility of extracting knowledge from massive heterogeneous spatial data in SDIs. By proposing and testing a system architecture for KDWS, this study contributes to perform spatial data mining techniques as a service-oriented framework on top of SDIs for knowledge discovery. We implemented and tested spatial clustering, classification, and association rule mining in an interoperable environment. In addition to interface implementation, a prototype web-based system was designed for extracting knowledge from real geodemographic data in the city of Tehran. The proposed solution allows a dynamic, easier, and much faster procedure to extract knowledge from spatial data.
