Water Resource Applications of Knowledge Based Systems: Hazardous Material Management, and Stream Quality Modeling
Abstract The development and application of knowledge based systems in water resources is growing rapidly. The purpose of this lecture is to review two different applications that illustrate the range of development of this type of tool. The first application is a knowledge based system to support decision making in the management of potentially hazardous or obnoxious dredged materials. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is charged with maintaining the navigability of the waterways of the country. Dredging is a principal tool used by the Corps for this purpose. However, dredging is problematic because the disposal of any dredged material that is determined to be hazardous is substantially more expensive, difficult, and time consuming than non-hazardous material disposal. The man-agement strategy for dredged material disposal can be represented by a knowledge based system that is currently under development. The second application is in the area of stream quality modeling. Specifically, it is a knowledge based system to aid in the calibration and use of the extended Streeter-Phelps BOD-DO model for a river or stream.
