appropriate input data. The main focus of the present project has been the
development of a number of auxiliary data handling modules for a previously
constructed IPT system. This system is an elaborate software capable of modelling a
wide range of hydro-environmental phenomena. Data required for the implementation
of the IPT system consist of hydro graphic and physical data regarding the geometry
of hydro-environmental system and boundary and initial conditions. Due to inevitable
high cost of these surveys in most cases the available data are scarce which reduces
the efficiency of computer models. In this respect development of more sophisticated
computer modelling schemes is in effective and techniques for enhancing the quality
of the input data must be employed. The aim of this project has been to eliminate such
difficulties by the use of modern IT techniques such as the optimization of physical
data by genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic procedures, intelligent data bases and case
based reasoning. To demonstrate the efficiency of the developed data handling
modules a number of hydro-environmental problems in tidal river networks have been
solved. It is shown that the modules developed in this project have general
applicability and can be used to assist computer aided design and systems
management in a wide variety of cases.
