This chapter considers the design of feedforward boundary control laws for a canal pool. We first consider the problem of delivering water downstream according to a prespecified schedule by using the upstream discharge. The controller design is based on frequency domain methods. We then turn towards the similar problem of canceling known disturbances using boundary control. Perfect rejection of measured perturbations at one boundary is obtained by controlling the other boundary. Frequency domain comparisons and time domain simulations illustrate the good performance of the feedforward boundary controller.
