DEVELOPING AN EXPERT SYSTEM FOR THE SELECTION OF SUITABLE DAM SITES IN YEME

Abstract

Dam construction is considered as one of the main aims of water resources development in Yemen. However, dam construction has many drawbacks such as the lack of considering integrated management in dams’ construction. The choice of location is considered as one of the challenges for the development of dam construction in Yemen. In this research, many necessary criteria have been used to develop an expert system for the choice of dam location. The development system can be used in Yemen and other countries also.
