Abstract: |
Irrigation and drainage canals are some examples of water conveyance systems
spread worldwide. These systems are characterized by transport phenomena and strong
coupling having a relevant social and economic impact in society. The management of water
networks is a complex task due to the large scale and uncertainty. This paper purposes a
modular modeling framework based on canal and junction models to construct different
water network topologies as irrigation and drainage networks. The framework presented is
a valuable resource for studying the behavior of canal networks, first in a development stage
and later for determining the benefits of introducing control algorithms to increase service
level performance. |
