The basic elements that comprise an expert system and the method of development of typical systems are reviewed. A simple example relates such a system to the operation of a water treatment plant. The tools (software) available for expert-system development are reviewed, and a procedural basis for evaluating the most likely application areas within water utility operation and management is presented.
