DEVELOPMENT AN EXPERT SYSTEM IN WATER MANAGEMENT
Abstract
In this work the main goal is to design and develop a expert system, with special focus on water management and quality. It is remarkable the high quantity of information and knowledge patterns implicit in large databases coming from the monitoring of any system or dynamical environmental process. For instance, historical data collected about meteorological phenomena in a certain area, about the performance of a wastewater treatment plant, about characterizing environmental emergencies (toxic substances wasting). The more relevant aspects of this proposal are: the interaction of the developed methods, the development of mixed techniques that can cooperate among them to extract the knowledge contained in data, the existence of dynamical data analysis, and the existence of a recommender agent, which will suggest the best method to be used depending on the target domain and on the goals specified by users. A system is being developed with the objective of capturing knowledge from water managers and environmental-science experts, regarding nutrients-excess effects in streams and of combining this knowledge into a user-friendly tool to assist water managers. The expert system provided by the system to water managers consists of: (1) diagnosis: inferring possible stream problems, assessing the alteration degree of the stream, and evaluating the source and magnitude of nutrient loads; (2) actions: offering alternative, ranked courses of action to solve possible problems; (3) forecast: providing several scenarios to simulate the effect of the different actions proposed as solutions.
