Abstract: Unsteady flow problems in open channels can be classified as simulation‐ and operation‐type problems, according to the objectives of the study. The simulation problem is for predicting the discharge and water level in the ...

Abstract: A downstream control algorithm was developed for the control of multireach canal systems. The objective of the control is to maintain a target water level at the downstream end of each pool by adjusting the control gate ...

Abstract: A downstream control algorithm for on‐demand operation of irrigation canal systems is presented. A constant water level is maintained at the downstream end of the pool. The approach is based on an explicit finite‐difference ...

Abstract: A canal automation algorithm named CLIS has been further developed and evaluated using test cases set by the ASCE Task Committee on Canal Automation Algorithms. The control algorithm is based on an inverse solution method ...
