CANAL AUTOMATION STUDIES IN CWPRS, PUNE

摘要

Canal Automation represents a wide range of technologies ranging from simple mechanical devices to complete computerised control. It is being applied to different aspects of overall operation of a canal system, and to improve the transmission and delivery of water to the users. Thousands of crores of rupees have been invested in creation of irrigation schemes and the performance of many of such schemes falls far below expectations. Problems associated with these irrigation schemes are at least partially due to ineffective operation of canal networks. Canal automation is the application of automatic devices or logic to assist in the operation of canal systems.
