Abstract

This chapter presents the basic characteristics of expert systems; it gives definitions of some important terminology and analyses. It also offers past experiences in the use of ESs in water resources and flood management. Likewise, it contains an analyses and evaluation of the flood defence systems technology that could be applied. A concept for the development of a decision support system based on state of the art hardware and software and the use of knowledge bases and ESs in defence from floods and floodplain management is also included.
