Abstract
In this paper we describe role of expert systems in the natural resource management and present the utility of prolog based expert system shell ESTA (Expert System shell for Text Animation) in the development of such an expert system. ESTA programming is based on logic programming approach. The ESTA programme has some advantages compared to other available expert system shell such as the C Language Integrated Production Systems (CLIPS). It is easy to use, fast, and requires little programming experience. Expert system development for natural resource management has been explored through presenting in details development of knowledge base ,using hypothetico-deductive diagnostic reasoning, for the visual image interpretation of IRS-1B based standard false color composite (FCC) image.
