1 Inductive reasoning and prediction of population dynamics of Cylindrospermopsis in the Wivenhoe Reservoir by means of evolutionary computation Friedrich Recknagel 1, Philip Orr 2 and Hongqing Cao 1 1 School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Adelaide 2 South East Queensland Water, Brisbane

2 Background The presentation is based on outcomes of the ARC Linkage Project LP99453 Early warning of cyanobacteria blooms in drinking water reservoirs by means of evolutionary algorithms in collaboration with South East Queensland Water and the SA Water Corporation The research is focusing on predictive modelling of population dynamics of Anabaena, Microcystis and Cylindrospermopsis in the Myponga Reservoir, South Australia and the Wivenhoe Reservoir, Queensland We show only results for Cylindrospermopsis raciporskii in the Wivenhoe Reservoir.

3 Key hypotheses of the project are: - early warning of cyanobacteria blooms requires operational models driven by in situ data from online monitoring - operational in situ models can be developed by nonlinear inductive evolutionary computation - nonlinear inductive models reveal predictor variables as well as relationships and thresholds triggering cyanobacteria blooms
