Abstract
In this project, we discuss the implementation of an intelligent agent- system for controlling a municipal water system. This work presents an agent-based approach to establishing the expected water requirements, operating constraints, and evaluation criteria and the use of collaborating agents to prescribe an optimal control scheme. A distributed control strategy is implemented and evaluated in a simulation of a municipal water system.
