Abstract

Expert systems enable experiential knowledge as well as parametric data to be used in the analysis of a problem. In water quality assessment studies there are three main problem areas: water quality monitoring procedures; data analysis and classification techniques; and policy decision making. This investigation used the induction inference rule approach to presenting the knowledge within the two systems. A decision tree (induction technique) breakdown of the main attributes of the NWC system identified five main attributes which were inductively linked in identifying river water quality class. However, a large number of rules would be required to develop an expert system (Ventilla, 1989). -from Authors
