Abstract: Due to water scarcity, providing reliable amounts of water is not possible for most of the irrigation districts in arid regions. In such conditions, equitable water delivery becomes one of the main concerns. Applying a ...

Abstract: A variety of methods are in use for the design of controllers for adjusting canal gate positions to maintain a constant water level immediately upstream from check gates. These methods generally rely on a series of tests ...

Abstract: Canals or open channels that convey water often consist of pools in series separated by control structures. Successful implementation of water-level control with these structures using decentralized proportional integral ...

Abstract: Open water systems such as irrigation canals are used to transport and deliver water from the source to the user. Water loss in these systems by seepage, leakage, evaporation, or unknown water offtakes can be large. If ...

Abstract: Water resources are limited in many agricultural areas. One method to improve the effective use of water is to improve delivery service from irrigation canals. This can be done by applying automatic control methods that ...

Abstract: The integrator-delay (ID) model is commonly used to model canal pools that do not exhibit resonance behavior. Simple step tests are often used to estimate ID model parameters; namely, delay time and backwater surface area. ...

Abstract: Storing water in main irrigation canal reaches could be an influential strategy to improve the existing operational activities in the irrigation canals. However, the control of such a canal system will become much more ...

Abstract: A variety of methods are in use for the design of controllers for adjusting canal gate positions to maintain a constant water level immediately upstream from check gates. These methods generally rely on a series of tests ...
