Soil erosion in areas interested with high rainfall intensities is an essential source of generating sediments that cause dramatic impact to the eco-system, disturb navigation, fills reservoirs, and the most important pollutes water with many deleterious substances. The main sources of soil erosion are the soil disturbance by cut and fill activities, moving of machinery and wind action. One of the most significant sediment capturing devices that are widely applied in the globe is the sediment basin which is a depression used to capture the water for some time and afterwards release it to the water body. Recently, the artificial intelligence was applied to combine the scientific understanding of the process of the natural world with the heuristic rules developed by managers through observation and experience. In this paper, a Sediment Capturing System (SCS) for designing the dry sediment basins which is suitable to be applied in Malaysia has been developed. The developed system is validated in which it proves that both of the system and the expert's opinions are almost matching which denotes that the system is intelligent and behaves like a human expert.
