What is it about?
WCSystem is a tool designed for multidimensional water classification using five new models based on machine learning techniques such as categorical boosting (CatBoost) and support vector machines (SVM). The tool automates the classification of water types by analyzing the ionic composition of water samples, enabling geoscientists to determine water origins and characteristics with high accuracy. WCSystem integrates novel statistical and AI-driven approaches, making water classification more precise and accessible.

Why is it important?
Water classification is crucial for understanding hydrogeochemical processes, managing water resources, and assessing environmental impacts. Traditional classification methods, such as ternary diagrams, have limitations in handling complex datasets and often introduce distortions. WCSystem overcomes these challenges by providing a robust, probability-based classification approach that enhances accuracy and reproducibility.
Perspectives
WCSystem exemplifies the growing role of AI and machine learning in geosciences. By incorporating advanced classification algorithms and Monte Carlo simulations, it improves the reliability of water classification. Future enhancements could integrate deep learning techniques to refine model accuracy, automate anomaly detection, and facilitate large-scale hydrochemical data analysis. This AI-driven approach paves the way for more adaptive and intelligent water classification systems in the future.
