Abstract
Many canal control methods and algorithms have been developed, but only some of them are being used on operating canal projects. As a part of the ASCE task committee on canal automation algorithms, this paper discusses field application of automatic control algorithms. Based on available data, information is presented on the implementation of canal algorithms. These algorithms are categorized as implicit algorithms in self-regulating gates, local automatic feedback controllers, and supervisory control algorithms. For each algorithm, brief information is provided on water projects that are using the algorithm, the type of application, implementation history, and algorithm performance.
