预测需水量和调度受控液压装置是一项复杂的任务，面临许多挑战。它需要使用统计、数学和优化技术。然而，水系统计算机自动控制的任务并不仅仅是通过获得预测和生成计划来完善。为了优化和高效运行水系统，需要构建一个完整的调度系统，以自动闭环控制方式管理水系统的运行。该系统将包括执行给定计划、监督流程和响应现场事件（如设备故障和通信中断）的工具。 目前正在为内华达州博尔德市的内华达州南部供水系统安装和测试此类调度系统。本文描述了调度系统及其组件，并讨论了在自动代码中实现的各个方面。包括3个参考文献、图表。

Predicting water demands and scheduling controlled hydraulic devices is a complicated task that presents many challenges. It requires the use of statistical, mathematical and optimization techniques. The task of automating computer control of a water system, however, is not perfected merely by obtaining a prediction and generating a schedule. In order to optimize and efficiently run a water system, a complete scheduling system needs to be constructed to manage the operations of the water system in an automatic closed-loop control. Such a system will include tools to execute the given schedule, supervise the process,and respond to field events such as equipment faults and loss of communications. A scheduling system of this kind is now being installed and tested for the Southern Nevada Water System of Boulder City, Nevada. This paper describes the scheduling system and its components and discusses aspects of implementation in an automatic code. Includes 3 references, figures.
