Abstract Model Predictive Control (MPC) has recently gained increasing interest in the
adaptive management of water resources systems due to its capability of incorporating …

Water is the most important element of food production, and the easiest and most cost-
efficient way to transport it is through open-channel irrigation systems (OCIS). These types of …

We introduce and solve stabilization problems for linear and nonlinear systems with state-
dependent input delay. Since the state dependence of the delay makes the prediction …

Consider the time periods required for a driver to react in response to large disturbances in
road traffic; for a signal sent from Houston to reach a satellite in orbit; for a coolant to be …

This paper investigates the problem of detection and isolation of attacks on a water
distribution network comprised of cascaded canal pools. The proposed approach employs a …

We consider general nonlinear systems with time-varying input and state delays for which
we design predictor-based feedback controllers. Based on a time-varying infinite …

This article investigates the vulnerabilities of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA) systems which monitor and control the modern day irrigation canal systems. This …

In Australia gravity fed irrigation systems are critical infrastructure essential to agricultural
production and export. By supplementing these large scale civil engineering systems with …

The integrator delay zero (IDZ) model presented by Litrico and Fromion is a simple way to
model a canal for control purposes that extends the classical integrator delay model. This …

A new method is proposed for controlling main irrigation canals with variable dynamical
parameters based on robust fractional order controllers. A methodology for designing PID …
