System for optimising performance in a water network

摘要

Provided is a system for optimising the hydrological performance of water within a watercourse network. The system comprises a central control system, one or more device control means, a plurality of sensing devices for providing watercourse information to the or each device control means, one or more water control devices for changing the hydrological performance of water in a watercourse, one or more water removal devices for removing water from a watercourse to one or more watercourses and/or one or more water storage means; and one or more water delivery devices for delivering water between watercourses and/or one or more water storage means. In use, the central control system automatically sets the hydraulic settings for the or each water control devices, the or each water removal devices and the or each water delivery devices via the or each device control means based on data received from the plurality of sensing devices to optimise the hydrological performance of the watercourse network and/or the water storage means.
