This paper deals with the use of optimal control techniques in the Barcelona urban drainage system, which includes flow-diversion gates, detention tanks and a telemetry/telecontrol system. Optimal control is used to provide control strategies reducing the events of flooding and polluting discharges to the environment. The influence of rain prediction on the optimal control results is analysed in this paper.
