Control system is the means by which a variable quantity or series of variable quantities is changed in such a way as to fulfill one or more objectives set in advance. Any given system incorporates a control system as an inherent part.

This, however, does not mean that the control system is always doing what it is supposed to do.

Moreover, if the control system is neglected, the probability of the system performing effectively is virtually equal to zero.

Water systems performance efficiency is vital for two reasons; one, water is a very scarce resource, especially in South Africa; and two, funds are usually limited.

Water systems having sound and effective control system in place do not waste water or financial resources. Similarly, systems with poor control system waste both.

If you want more water without major capital investment (or is it expense?) maybe you should look at your control system before you pull out your wallet. Did you know that there is alternative?

If you think that an improvement of your control system can improve your profit margins you are invited to consult with control team. The team covers both closed (pipelines) and open (channels) water systems ranging from municipal water distribution to irrigation canals and hydropower water conveyance schemes.

Depending on the purpose of the investigations required, the appropriate methodologies and analytical tools that suit your system will be proposed.
