Summary

Canal automation refers to a closed-loop control in which a gate or pump changes its position or running speed in response to a measured water level, flow rate, or pressure because that level, rate, or pressure is different than the intended target value.  This report provides a clarification of theoretical principles behind canal automation, as well as what ITRC has learned through trial and error as we work to fine-tune the process.
