| description abstract | Most canals have either long travel times or insufficient in-canal storage to operate on demand. Thus most flow changes must be routed through the canal. Volume compensation has been proposed as a method for easily applying feedforward control to irrigation canals. Software for automated canal management (SacMan) includes both feedforward routing with volume compensation and distant downstream-water-level control. SacMan was implemented on the WM canal of the Maricopa-Stanfield Irrigation and Drainage District, Stanfield, Ariz. Field testing was conducted for a 30 day period during 2004 where more than 50 deliveries to users were made with feedforward control. This paper presents results from some of these field tests and demonstrates the degree of water-level control achievable with combined feedforward (routing)-feedback control. | |
