description Recent approaches toward solving the regression problems which are characterized by dynamic and nonlinear pattern such as machine learning modeling (including artificial intelligence (AI) approaches) have proven to be useful and successful tools for prediction. Approaches that integrate predictive model with optimization algorithm such as hybrid soft computing have resulted in the enhancement of the accuracy and preciseness of models during problem predictions. In this research, the implementation of hybrid evolutionary model based on integrated support vector regression (SVR) with firefly algorithm (FFA) was investigated for water quality indicator prediction. The monthly water quality indicator (WQI) that was used to test the hybrid model over a period of 10 years belongs to the Euphrates River, Iraq.
