Summary:
Canal automation is more and more widely used to improve the operation of canal systems and to conserve water. Most new canals have an automatic control system. Additionally, many older canals are being modernized with data collection, telemetry, and control equipment that helps canal operators better manage their water. The Bureau of Reclamation’s Water Resources Research Laboratory has developed a training course on canal operation and control. This course covers modern methods to upgrade the operations of existing canals, including canal automation techniques and equipment. The curriculum includes a combination of classroom discussions, equipment demonstrations, and laboratory workshops that target canal operators, water masters and engineers.
