چکیده
Artificial intelligence techniques can be used to solve problems using a heuristic approach. This paper deals with a model able to verify whether there is groundwater in a given place, the quantity available and its quality. The system has been implemented in the logic programming language Prolog and runs on a personal computer under MS-DOS. The knowledge base has been constructed using degrees of certainty and other factors. The model has been applied to a region in Southern Italy, where data are available. The first results are encouraging and further questions about groundwater quantity and quality are being examined. La gestion des ressources en eau souterraine par l'approche heuristique Résumé On peut résoudre avec l'utilisation des techniques d'intelligence artificielle les problèmes utilisant une approche heuristique. Cet article décrit un modèle capable de vérifier la présence de l'eau dans un site donnée, la quantité utilisable et sa qualité. Le modèle a été réalisé en utilisant un langage de programmation logique Prolog avec MS-DOS. La base des connaissances a été établie en utilisant un degré de certitude et d'autres facteurs. Le modèle a été appliqué dans une zone située dans l'Italie du Sud, où il y avait suffisamment de données. Les premiers résultats nous encouragent à continuer à analyser les sujets relatifs à la quantité et à la qualité d'eau souterraine.

Sustainable Management of Groundwater Resources Using Multi-Criteria Programming (A Case Study of Kashmar Plain)
Frequent droughts and their consequences result in the loss of groundwater, the deficiency of nutrients, the drying of surface water resources, and substantially more exploitation of the groundwater resources, which, altogether, cause the mobilization of saline waters to groundwater tables. This will impair the capacity of the aquifers and the quality of the water. The VIKOR method was applied ...

Recently, special attention has been paid to artificial groundwater recharge in water resource management in arid and semi-arid regions. Water resources distribution in these regions is extremely uneven, both in spatial and temporal forms and groundwater is the only water resource and is a major constraint on economic and social development. Artificial groundwater recharge is considered an appr...
