Three control structures on lateral E3-A of Delta Lake Irrigation District (DLID) in the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) in Texas will be automated and integrated with the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system in two Phases. Control of two gate structures, Check 1 and Check 2, at the most upstream of the lateral will be integrated with SCADA system first in Phase 1. The third gate structure, Check 3, at the downstream of Check 2 will be automated in Phase 2 to conduct research on delivering unknown irrigation demands. This system will be utilized as a long-term management and decision support tool for the district. This study focuses on the methodology of integrating the canal automation with the optimal management strategies of turnout structures to meet on-farm delivery demands. The discussion reviews the identification and selection of the SCADA system components for DLID.born digitalCD-ROMsproceedings (reports)engCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
