Smart Irrigation Controllers: What Makes an Irrigation Controller Smart?
AE442, a 3-page illustrated fact sheet by Michael D. Dukes, is part of the Smart Irrigation Controllers series. It describes two basic types of irrigation controllers that reduce outdoor water use by monitoring and using information about site conditions:

New offset-free method for model predictive control of open channels [PDF]
Irrigation or drainage canals can be controlled by model predictive control (MPC). Applying MPC with an internal model in the presence of unknown disturbances in some cases can lead to steady state offset.
