EXPERT SYSTEMS AND RIVER BASIN MANAGEMENT

Expert systems are an emerging technology that may have significant implications for river basin management. Expert systems incorporate in a computerized environment the heuristics, judgments, experience and knowledge of one or more experts in a particular domain. The expert system is then available for consultation by the non-expert to gain advice and guidance on new problems in the domain. There has been a radical improvement in expert systems technology in the past decade, resulting in order of magnitude improvements in the quality of applications and in the development time for applications. There have been successful applications of expert systems that relate to river basin management problems and there are additional applications currently under development. The potential for successful application of expert systems and the potential for significant improvements in river basin management are great.
