A sine qua non of control system development for modern sewer networks is the preservation of the water system around a network’s outflow(s). Several approaches have been proposed for the optimisation of sewage control and Optimal Real-time Control of Sewer Networks provides a comparative synthesis of a central sewer network flow control based on two of these: nonlinear-optimal and multivariable-feedback control. Testing and comparison of these protocols are made on the basis of their control results for the large-scale sewer network located around the river Obere Iller in Bavaria. The control strategies implemented within this network are based on this study. From the selection of possible methods of control and moving to the implementation of those methods in a real sewer system, this monograph will be invaluable to control and civil engineers working in sewage flow and wastewater treatment and of interest to academics wishing to see how their ideas on optimal control work out when practically applied.

A comprehensive series of interconnected computer models are described which assist water control managers in operating reservoir systems during real-time flood emergencies. The need for and the desirable features of a transportable comprehensive software system are presented along with a description of the various computer models developed for this purpose by the Hydrologic Engineering Center of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The functions, capabilities and inerties of the Data Management, Operation, Forecast and Display computer modules used in this software system are described and an example application of this system on one of the Corps' reservoir systems is presented.

This paper overviews the general features of computer program 'HEC-5, Simulation of Flood Control and Conservation Systems', with emphasis on the capabilities of the most recent release of HEC-5, Version 7.2, dated March 1991. HEC-5 can simulate the essential features and operation goals and constraints of simple or complex systems with simulation intervals ranging from minutes to one month. Single event flood analysis and period of record conservation analysis may be accomplished with the model. Flood control analysis includes balanced system operation for downstream damage centers with consideration of forecasted local flows and hydrologic routing. In addition, induced surcharge operation based on spillway gate regulation schedules can be simulated. Hydropower analysis may include run-of-river, peaking, and pumped storage plants as well as system power operation. Water supply simulation can include reservoir and downstream flow requirements in addition to divers ions and return flows. Water Quality analysis can include simulation of temperature, dissolved oxygen, up to three conservative and up to three nonconservative constituents.

While the planning and design of urban drainage systems (URS) has long been the domain of civil engineers, it is only recently that information on the operation of these systems has been available. An increasing number of UDS are being equipped with sensors and data collection systems, and the data gained are being used to develop appropriate control systems to improve the use of existing systems and increase UDS performance to the maximum. In 1986 the IAWPRC/IAHR Joint Committee on Urban Storm Drainage commissioned a group of engineers and scientists to study the technical developments in the field of real-time control of UDS. The result is this state-of-the-art report, an important reference for engineers planning new or refurbishing old UDS.
