Abstract
The article considers the problem of water resources management optimization in "canal-hydraulic structure-canal" systems. In order to reduce water losses and increase the accuracy of water distribution among consumers, an optimization algorithm based on Bellman's dynamic programming method has been developed. Dynamic processes in open canals are modeled using the Saint-Venant equations, and the efficiency of the algorithm is proven through numerical experiments.
