Indicators Perception and prediction based upon available datasets has recently gained an increasing importance. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the backbone of perception and prediction; learning techniques are being used by most of the researchers to achieve these goals while ontologies are being used to collect, represent, understand and use input data. Using a comprehensive ontology can improve the process of incrementally learning a visual concept detection model. The problematic nature may be in healthcare, Transportation and etc. Applying AI on different environmental sectors like solar irradiation, Agriculture, water domain and other natural disasters have been increased in recent years due to weather changes and human activities. Achieving high accuracy and high efficiency have always been challenges for researchers for faster natural disaster management or natural phenomena exploitation in economy development. With inflating data, there is direction to deep learning models and hybrid methods that enhance the outcome. This paper reviews on how artificial intelligence applied in different environmental applications and development stages of AI models until now. It shows advantages and disadvantages of each model and providing appropriate recommendations for each application to achieve the best forecasting.
