Conserving the land: the resilience of riparian wetlands and river channels by a fuzzy inference system

This technical note is an attempt to embrace a fuzzy inference system (FIS) in proper functioning condition (PFC) methodology that previously involved manual calculation in river health assessment. In order to illustrate the capability of the FIS model, the riparian system along Kuap River of Kuchin...
