The paper outlines the major requirements for dynamic control of water distribution systems and presents a control scheme which will ensure optimal operation. The scheme incorporates a simulation of the overall dynamics of a water system and a method is given for the derivation of simplified dynamic models of distribution networks which are suitable for use in computer controlled operations.
