Water is the most important element of food production, and the easiest and most cost-
efficient way to transport it is through open-channel irrigation systems (OCIS). These types of …

The spin structure function of the neutron g 1 n has been determined over the range 0.03<
x< 0.6 at an average Q 2 of 2 (GeV/c) 2 by measuring the asymmetry in deep inelastic …

Change in freshwater availability is arguably one of the most pressing issues associated
with global change. Agriculture, which uses roughly 70% of the total global freshwater …

Water losses in irrigation channels are large, but they can be substantially reduced by
improving the control systems. The flows and water levels are controlled using overshot …

The objective of this survey paper is to review, structure and analyze the main concepts
involved in the control of irrigation canals, and to illustrate them on a canal benchmark. After …

The fast-growing technology of large scale wind turbines demands control systems capable
of enhancing both the efficiency of capturing wind power, and the useful life of the turbines …

This paper presents a method to design efficient automatic controllers for an irrigation canal
pool, that realize a compromise between the water resource management and the …

The paper investigates the control of oscillating modes occurring in open-channels, due to
the reflection of propagating waves on the boundaries. These modes are well represented …

Estimating river discharge from in situ and/or remote sensing data is a key issue for
evaluation of water balance at local and global scales and for water management …

This paper deals with the delay identification and control of irrigation channels, modelled as
lumped-parameter time delay systems, focusing on the difficulties imposed by the transport …
