0621605-BushnellABSTRACTIntellectual MeritA series of sluice gates have been constructed in the coastal regions of Vietnam's Mekong Delta to provide better hydrological control for farmland, increase rice production and reduce seawater incursion. In this project, robust, inexpensive sensor modules will be developed to achieve real-time hydrological monitoring and management of the sluice gates using optimal control techniques. Responding to the mandate from the Vietnamese government to increase the educational level of Delta inhabitants, we also propose to develop university-level curricula at Can-Tho University (CTU). Metrics for successful implementation will be to assess whether the controlled region with sluice gates has a similar ecology to an uncontrolled region with no hydrological regulation and whether CTU becomes an effective, independent research institution in the area of mechatronics, control and automation. This work will break new ground in (1) research and development of cheap, robust sensors, (2) establishment of a new working mathematical model of the Mekong Delta and (3) synthesis of an optimal controller for a large-scale system that is highly non-linear, has limited/noisy sensor data and exhibits long delays. Broader ImpactsThe research has potential for broader impact as follows. (1) Establish a new method for modeling and control of hydrology in a large-scale, natural delta system. (2) Provide better knowledge and control of the hydrology in the Mekong Delta, leading to long-term socio-economic improvement. (3) Establish more efficient land use and land distribution practices, leading to overall improvement of environmental health. (4) Increase capacity of local inhabitants through research training, and (5) enhance long-term collaborations between UW and CTU.

0621605-布什内尔摘要知识产权在越南湄公河三角洲的沿海地区建造了一系列的水闸，以更好地控制农田的水文，增加水稻产量，减少海水入侵。在这个项目中，将开发强大的，廉价的传感器模块，以实现实时水文监测和管理的水闸使用最佳控制技术。响应越南政府提高三角洲居民教育水平的任务，我们还建议在Can-Tho大学（CTU）开发大学水平的课程。成功实施的关键是评估有闸门的受控区域是否与没有水文调节的非受控区域具有相似的生态，以及CTU是否成为机电一体化，控制和自动化领域的有效，独立的研究机构。这项工作将在以下方面开创新局面：（1）研究和开发廉价、鲁棒的传感器;（2）建立湄公河三角洲新的工作数学模型;（3）为高度非线性、传感器数据有限/有噪声和延迟时间长的大规模系统合成最佳控制器。更广泛的影响这项研究有可能产生以下更广泛的影响。(1)建立了一种新的方法，模拟和控制水文在一个大规模的，自然三角洲系统。(2)更好地了解和控制湄公河三角洲的水文，从而实现长期的社会经济改善。(3)建立更有效的土地使用和土地分配做法，从而全面改善环境健康。(4)通过研究培训提高当地居民的能力，（5）加强华盛顿大学和CTU之间的长期合作。
