Abstract: This paper presents a water-level control system for the Meuse river, the implementation of which is planned to start in 1997. A simplified model is used for the tuning of and design of the controllers. To obtain a highly ...

Abstract: Schuurmans et al. (1995a) presented a model for the design of water level controllers for irrigation and drainage canals that describes the essential characteristics of the processes relevant for canal control (such as ...

Abstract: One of the problems of interest to professionals in the field of irrigation and drainage is the computer simulation of discharge or level control structures. Particularly troublesome are structures that display a marked ...

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: A simple water level controller for irrigation and drainage canals is proposed; the proposed controller has a master-slave structure where the slaves control the flow rates through the control structures. The master ...
