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) …

Recently, a combination of model predictive control and a reduced genetic algorithm (RGA-
MPC) has shown to be an efficient control technique for real-time flood control, making use …

The vegetation along a river reach varies throughout a year. Seasonal vegetation affects the
hydrodynamic behaviour of the river system. Accordingly, flood studies should take this …

As opposed to other disciplines, automated calibration procedures are not common practice
for full hydrodynamic river models, mainly because of the long computation times impeding …

Abstract Model predictive control (MPC) has shown to be an efficient technique for real-time
flood control. The evaluation of the control performance is, however, typically restricted to a …

Water management is constantly evolving. Trends, such as population growth, urbanization
and climate change, pose new challenges to water management. Risks and uncertainties …
