Abstract

Purpose: to analyze the state of modern water distribution management systems in irrigation systems and review strategies for water distribution management in main canals of irrigation systems. Discussion. Rising water consumption and climate change are major sources of water scarcity worldwide. With the load increase on water transportation to irrigation fields, the issues of researching modern methods and means of improving the quality of water distribution management in irrigation canals become relevant. In the process of research, the conditions for water distribution management in the Don Main Canal Rostov region were considered and an analysis of the main currently used water distribution management strategies and the possibility of their implementation in various conditions was made, with an emphasis on currently unsolved problems. As a result of the research, the need to activate the process of transition to the strategy of automated control of water distribution in irrigation systems using mathematical models and modern means, including adaptive control using fractional controllers, has been substantiated. Conclusions. In the field of water distribution management in the main canals of irrigation systems, a number of problems of both theoretical and practical nature still remain, for the solution of which a systematic approach using both traditional methods based on solving differential equations, control theory, and neural networks and cloud calculations is required.
