Abstract
The management of navigation canals is complex. The most important requirement apart form flood protection and maintenance of ecological flow is to keep the water level within a certain range around the normal navigation level. Due to geographical reasons, some navigation reaches are connected by locks. When these locks overcome big level differences the disturbance created by a lock operation can influence the water level in the reach and the possibility of navigation. There can be known and unknown, controllable and uncontrollable inputs influencing the water level. In order to plan the management and control of such a system a model is needed. An example for such reach is the Cuinchy-Fontinettes reach in the north of France. The reach is bounded by two locks, and the (desired) operation of the downstream lock causes a disturbance that does not allow keeping the water level in the navigation range. In this work, the model of the system is built, and the estimation and the approximation of the unknown inputs is presented with uncertainties.
