    Effectiveness of different spatial interpolators in estimating heavy metal contamination in shallow groundwater: a case study of arsenic contamination in Hanoi, Vietnam
    (2011-04) Pham Quy Giang; Kanchana Nakhapakorn; กาญจนา นาคะภากร; Achara Ussawarujikulchai; Mahidol University. Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies
    in shallow groundwater, (2) generate risk map and compare effectiveness of different spatial interpolation approaches including Kriging, IDW and Radial Basis Function of Geographic Information System (GIS) in estimating arsenic concentration... and the highest concentration was found in lower aquifer. IDW gave the best prediction with an average error (MAPE) of 32.82%. An arsenic risk map was created from the IDW method. The map showed groundwater arsenic contamination and high contaminated areas

    Comparison of Spatial Rainfall Interpolation by Using Statistical Methods at Thailand’s Eastern Coast Basin
    (2025-01-01) Wimala S.; Jirakajohnkool S.; Konisranukul W.; Nakhapakorn K.; Wimala S.; Mahidol University
    in the Eastern Coast Basin using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), this study aims to compare the accuracy of three statistical interpolation methods: Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), Kriging, and Co-Kriging. The objective is to determine the most effective... May and October 2017. The IDW, Kriging, and Co-Kriging techniques were implemented using GIS-based analysis. The performance of these methods was evaluated using statistical validation metrics, including Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Square

    Comparing Areal Rainfall Estimation Methods in the Ayung Watershed, Bali, Indonesia: A Comprehensive Analysis
    (2024-01-01) Dharmayasa I.G.N.P.; Putri P.I.D.; Sugiana I.P.; Jindal R.; Surakit K.; Thongdara R.; Dharmayasa I.G.N.P.; Mahidol University
    , and infrastructure design. Three methods are evaluated: arithmetic average, Thiessen polygon, and Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW). Rainfall data from eight stations across the watershed (2004-2018) reveals a distinct wet-dry season pattern. All three methods yielded... consistent results for areal rainfall estimation, with IDW showing a slight advantage in accuracy. However, the arithmetic average method offers a simpler and faster computational approach, making it suitable for initial analyses. Spatial interpolation

    concentration of all air toxic compounds except 1,3-butadiene. Three different spatial interpolation techniques namely, ordinary kriging, the inverse distance weighted (IDW), and spline were tested in order to find the most appropriate scheme to provide the best... interpolated results for this study. A cross validation and several statistical parameters were employed for selection. Results indicated that in general, IDW performs much better than the other techniques. The impact zone was defined as an area having annual

    Variability and distribution of salinity and sodicity levels in fine-textured soils adjacent to brine shrimp farming in inland freshwater areas of Thailand

    to determine soil salinity levels upon electrical conductivity (ECe), and soil sodicity levels upon sodium adsorption ratio (SAR). The spatial distribution of soil salinity and sodicity levels was estimated using inverse distance weighting (IDW) technique.... The results revealed that soil ECe values at various depths collected from two periods varied from 0.18-13.63 dS m-1 ( x ˜ = 2.06 dS m-1). Spatial distribution of salinity levels based on IDW estimation exhibited similar patterns among soil depths in both

    The Use of geoinformatics for estimating soil organic
    (2014-06) Prapeut Kerdsueb; Piyakarn Teartisup; ประพฤติ เกิดสืบ; ปิยะกาญจน์ เที้ยธิทรัพย์; Mahidol University. Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies
    LANDSAT TM 5; band 1-3-4 was used to predict soil organic matter contents in central plain of Thailand: Nakhon Pathom province as a representative area. There were 135 plots from several agricultural land use; paddy fields, sugarcane and fruit orchard. Y=3.926+0.0176 X1-0.0117 X3+0.0476 X4 (R2=0.357) was the result from the interpolation method at RMSE=0.95. The soil organic matter map was build up via Geoinformatics techniques with additional data sources. These techniques include organic matter models and qualitative methods. Finally, validation methods used to assess the accuracy of maps produced with image data are discussed. It is concluded that a general lack of validation data is a main concern. Validation is of utmost importance to achieve regional operational monitoring systems, and close collaboration between the image data and field-based soil scientists is therefore required.
