First, a multi- layer control structure resulting from a functional decomposition of water network is briefly presented. Inside each layer, an MPC based controller is used. Between related layers, a temporal multi-level coordination mechanism is used to generate control strategies which consider objectives and time scales of both layers. The upper layer which is named supply layer works in a daily scale in order to achieve the global management policies for the dierent reservoirs. The lower layer which is named transportation layer works in a hourly scale and is in charge of manip- ulating the actuators (pumps and valves) set-point to satisfy the local objectives. The results of the modelling will be applied to the Catalunya Regional Water Net- work and this paper presents the simulation results based on an aggregate model of this network.
