Model predictive control (MPC) is an advanced technique for controlling water resources systems over short-term prediction horizons by optimizing control trajectories of hydraulic structures. Future system states are foretasted by an internal model that simulates the system response to a set of external disturbances and control inputs. This paper deals with the design and numerical implementation of dedicated simplified hydraulic models for representing flood routing processes in MPC.

Did you know that most of the earth's surface is water? That groundwater can take a liftime to move 1 kilometer? That bottled water is 1000 times more expensive than tap water while Dutch drinking water has the same quality? That 200 children worldwide die every hour due to poor water quality and that the Dutch municipalities manage more than 100,000km of sewage networks.

We enjoy water to drink and to swim in. Water is essential for food production, is a source of energy and a mode of transport (or do you mean exercise? I've never heard this expression before). Sometimes it is also a hazard: sometimes there is too much, other times too little. Water Management, a Masters specialization at TU Delft is focused on education and research on the behavior of water; how we obtain it where we need it, how we purify it and how we handle wastewater.

Labour Supply

The labour supply refers to the total number of hours that labour is willing and able to supply at a given wage rate.

It is the number of workers willing and able to work in a particular job or industry for a given wage.
