This paper presents the design and implementation of a distributed control system (DCS) for a water reservoir using programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and a human machine interface (HMI) for monitoring and control. The control system is designed to monitor the water levels, gates, and pumps in the water reservoir and to provide remote access to operators for better decision-making. The PLCs are programmed to control the gates and pumps according to the water level in the dam. The HMI provides a graphical user interface to monitor the water reservoir status and control the gates and pumps remotely. The system is tested and validated, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed control system.
