Urban drainage systems (UDS) may be considered large-scale systems given their large
number of associated states and decision actions, making challenging their real-time control …

The objective of this survey paper is to review the main methodologies used in the
development of models and in the design of controllers for irrigation canal systems. These …

Irrigation canals are large-scale systems, consisting of many interacting components, and
spanning vast geographical areas. For safe and efficient operation of these canals …

This paper deals with the regulation of irrigation canals. We consider the distributed and
nonlinear nature of a single reach delimited by two regulator gates and which can be …

This paper presents a digital control scheme for water level regulation in irrigation canals.
The scheme considers a prototype canal composed by a series of pools connected with …

The real-time control (RTC) system is a valid and cost-effective solution for urban stormwater
management. This paper aims to evaluate the beneficial effect on urban flooding risk …

A new Proportional-Integral (PI) tuning method based on Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) is
presented. In particular, an LMI-based optimal control problem is solved to obtain a sparse …

This paper presents a novel meta-heuristic approach for real-time flood control. The
approach combines model predictive control (MPC) with a reduced genetic algorithm (RGA) …

Canals have been widely constructed to deliver water from rich areas to poor areas to ease
water shortages. Efficient controlling of canals is essential for high-performance water …

This paper applies a model predictive controller (MPC) to an automatic water canal with
sensors and actuators controlled by a PLC network (programmable logic controller), and …
