Abstract

This paper deals with the use of optimal control techniques in urban drainage systems containing gates and detention tanks as well as a telemetry/telecontrol system. Optimal control is used to provide control strategies which contribute to reducing the events of flooding and polluting discharges to the environment. The case of the Barcelona system is presented.
