This paper presents an approach to predict the amount of the wastewater which enters wastewater treatment plant, using artificial neural network. The method presented can be used to give short-term predictions of wastewater inflow-rate. The described neural network model uses a very tiny set of data commonly collected by WWTP control systems.
