Doctoral thesis presented to ENGREF (Ecole National du Genie Rural, des Eaux et des Forets), 27 January 1994. Methods of automatic control have been developed for irrigation canals since 1970, mainly in France and USA. These methods can be classified according to four concepts: Controlled variables, control logic, design method and implementation. Optimal control, a multivariable method, is developed in this thesis. The required linear model is obtained from Saint-Venant equations, discretised with Preissmann implicit scheme. One advantage of this scheme is not to be constrained by Courant condition. A special modelisation is used for boundary conditions, in order to obtain a controllable system and to limit input velocities. A method is presented that evaluates the modelisation and control time step. The optimal controller can address tracking issues and use prediction of offtake withdrawals. A complete and reduced order state observer are proposed. A perturbation observer is also defined, reconstructing unknown offtake withdrawals and therefore improving the state reconstruction. A method is suggested that initialises the weighting matrices. The optimal controller and the reduced observer are tested on two examples: A low and a high head loss canal reach. Robustness is evaluated, by simulation on a degraded system. Results prove the controller and the observer to be very satisfactory. Finally, results are compared, to other well-known regulation methods.

(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: PER Record No: H017891)
This article suggests and defines a characterization of irrigation canal regulation methods, based on four criteria: considered variables (controlled, measured, and control action variables), logic of control, design method (structure and technique) and field implementation (configuration and device). Depending on the chosen criterion and partition rule, different classifications can be built from this characterization. In conclusion, a structured characterization table of the main published canal regulation method is presented.

The lateral interceptor concept was conceived in the wake of a water conservation effort to reduce several sources of water loss typical of irrigation districts. These sources include operational discharges from lateral canals and excess on-farm deep percolation and tailwater. In addition to conservation, a lateral interceptor system can provide its water users the flexibility of ordering and shutting off when desired under a fixed-arranged delivery schedule.

MODIS is an implicit hydrodynamic modeling package that has been developed to investigate the hydraulic performance of dynamic controlled irrigation systems. The model's most apparent features are its accurate computation of a wide range of standard structures and its many operation possibilities. Furthermore, the model is able to compute performance indicators which allow for a fast and diagnostic interpretation of the model results. The user interface is not menu driven and the program is not public domain. The program is most suitable for experienced users and for large systems.

The model SIMCAR solves the gradually varied unsteady flow in a branched canal network with upstream control, with particular attention given to the simulation of the AMIL radial gates. It is based on the Saint-Venant system of equations, which are solved by a finite-difference technique with a four- point implicit scheme weighted in time and space. Model calibration and validation are made for the canal network of the Sorraia Irrigation Project, Portugal.

A transient (unsteady) flow model for simulating the hydraulics in irrigation canal networks was developed and tested in Thailand. A steady- state hydraulic model was subsequently developed and tested at the same site in Thailand. Both of the models were designed not only to simulate canal hydraulics, but also to generate control structure and turnout opening values based on given water allocation schedules. The features of these models and the experiences in applying them to canal operation at an irrigation project are described.
