A Knowledge Based Approach to the Management of Soil Erosion Information in Developing Countries
نویسنده
چکیده
The study and control of soil erosion and the associated environmental degradation is a difficult problem because it involves a very wide body of knOWledge. The use of knowledge based expert systems in this domain may improve the current efforts by providing an efficient tool for inter-disciplinary technology transfer and application. Domain expert systems may also be used as substitutes for human experts to provide guidance to less skilled soil erosion domain personnel. This paper describes the prototype knowledge based system Soil Loss Estimation and Modelling System(SLEMS) and shows how such a system can be used to solve some soil erosion problems. This system was developed and implemented at UNB on a Sun workstation for the management and application of remote sensing and geographic information in soil loss estimation and modelling problems.
