Abstract
This paper introduces a second project on real time flood control in Belgium. The studies developed for the automatic operation of the Dijle flood reservoir have been extended for a system of four flood reservoirs in the Demer basin, adjacent to the Dijle basin. The goal of the study is to design a fully automatic operation scheme of all weirs of the four reservoirs by using real time forecasts of the different parts of the flow system. But the on-line calculations and tasks of the process-computer in the future real time system can only be formulated in detail when an acceptable strategy for operating these reservoirs has been developed. Evaluation of this control strategy has been made by an extensive computer simulation study of the complete flood protection scheme.
