Automation in Bío Bío Sur: Optimization and precision in water allocation

Canal Users Association, Bío Bío Sur.

Problem

Critical water infrastructure that must simultaneously supply different users — sanitation, agriculture, and hydropower — under a nearly continuous flow.

Challenge

Regulating a large-scale canal with slow response times, making precise flow control difficult in the face of demand variations.

Solution

Deployment of advanced control to stabilize flow, reduce variability, and ensure a more precise and safer operation.
