Abstract: In order to prevent dam-breaking accidents of tailings ponds, to excavate effective information of online monitoring system and improve prediction accuracy of phreatic lines, a prediction model was set up based on PCA and LSTM neural network. Then, with Chenkeng tailings pond as an example, Pearson correlation coefficient and variable combination method were introduced to determine 18 features of model inputs, including location of phreatic line of measuring point in the first three days, location of two adjacent surrounding saturation lines, water level of ponds, longitudinal displacement of dam body and rainfall. Finally, PCA was used to eliminate data redundancy between input variables, and LSTM neural network was applied to predict location of phreatic line for the next three days. The results show that PCA-LSTM neural network-based method presents higher predication accuracy with an average absolute error of 0.011 and a decision coefficient of 0.805. And it can achieve stable prediction of phreatic lines for tailings ponds under different rainfall conditions.
