GEPREDO

The project has successfully addressed the issue of generating models for rainfall prediction, demand, and converting rainfall intensity into water flow. Furthermore, data validation algorithms have been defined to detect erroneous data and correct them if necessary, ensuring that the data used as input for the models is reliable. The main objective of the project was to develop a benchmark simulating one of the Pyrenean basins to evaluate predictive management methods. To achieve this, the water prediction models for the study basin were calibrated, and a predictive controller was designed to ensure ecological flow throughout the basin. The results will be presented at the "International Water Association - Instruments, Control and Automation" conference in 2009 in Australia.

To achieve the objectives, 7 working meetings were held: Tarbes (3), San Sebastián (2), Terrassa (1), and Zaragoza (1). The project lasted 2 years and resulted in 10 publications in international journals, 13 conference presentations, 2 book chapters, and 1 doctoral thesis.

In connection with the Zaragoza International Water Expo, an open meeting was organized to present the results of the CTP project. In addition to the participating institutions, members from the University of Zaragoza and the Ebro River Basin Authority attended. This meeting allowed for deeper mutual understanding of the experiences of different participants and served as a foundation to program a new joint research project between the CTP GEPREDO institutions and two new institutions from the Aragón region.
