“…Following the introduction of HYDRO, there was a surge in expert system applications in water resources engineering. Several examples include the use of an expert system for flood estimation (Fayegh & Russel, 1986), classification of groundwater aquifers (Hushon, 1987), reservoir management (Kangari & Rouhani, 1986), pollution source identification (Datta & Paralta, 1986), reservoir operation (Akhoundi & Karamouz, 1988), and drought characterization and management (Palmer & Holmes, 1988).…”

A variety of forecast modeling techniques, from conventional techniques such as regression and time series analyses to relatively new artificial intelligence (AI) techniques such as expert systems and artificial neural networks (ANNs), were investigated for use in short‐term water demand forecasting. Daily water demand, daily maximum air temperature, and daily total rainfall data from Lexington, Ky., for 1982–92 were used to develop and test several forecast models. The performance of each model was evaluated using two standard statistical parameters. On the basis of the measured statistical parameters, the AI models outperformed the conventional models. Both expert system and ANN technologies should be further explored by water utility engineers and managers because these techniques have the potential to enhance the operational performance of various water supply and delivery systems.

“…In recent years, expert systems have been studied as a tool for solving environmental problems (Hushon, 1987;Rossman and Siller, 1987). Expert systems have been developed for site assessment systems, permit generators, aquifer classification systems, chemical response systems, waste quality protection, water resources engineering and hazardous waste management.…”

“…They are especially useful for projects that cover a broad field of knowledge. Expert systems have been built for solving environmental problems (Hushon, 1987;Rossman and Siller, 1987). These works concluded by identifying promising tools for the application of expert systems in waste management.…”

“…KBS have been considered as adequate by a number of researchers in the field (Antunes and Câmara, 1991;MacGilchrist, 1991;Hushon, 1990). Their main advantages are a substantial reduction in costs of environmental impact assessment studies and a higher availability of experts, released from routine tasks.…”
