The automation of distribution canals in India promises to improve water-delivery service to end users by reducing operating cost and improving distribution efficiency. CWPRS has established a fully automated 190 m long model canal, which is entirely controlled and monitored remotely on SCADA platform. The facility has been equipped with various hydraulic structures and flow measurement devices. The canal is a demonstration unit, a training facility and a research platform for field engineers, academicians and scientists. Testing and implementation of canal automation has been carried out at CWPRS, Pune, for acquiring first-hand experience on various aspects of canal automation processes.
