Water quality prediction is a fundamental and necessary task for the prevention and management of water environment pollution. Due to the fluidity of water, different sections of the same river have similar trends in their water quality. The present water quality prediction methods cannot exploit the correlation between the water quality of each section to deeply capture information because they do not take into account how similar the water quality is between sections. In order to address this issue, this paper constructs a water quality prediction model based on multi-task deep learning, taking the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the water environment of the Lanzhou portion of the Yellow River as the research object. The multiple sections of correlation are trained and learned in this model at the same time, and the water quality information of each section is shared while retaining their respective heterogeneity, and the hybrid model CNN-LSTM is used for better mining from local to full time series features of water quality information. In comparison to the current single-section water quality prediction, experiments have shown that the model’s mean absolute error (MSE) and root mean square error (RMSE) of the predicted value of the model are decreased by 13.2% and 15.5%, respectively, and that it performs better in terms of time stability and generalization.
