Research water systems optimization for an Alberta irrigation district as an in-person Associate at North Campus, Edmonton. Focus on canal water balance and reservoir management.

This Research Associate project applies optimization algorithms to river basin planning and management. You will examine storage balancing, canal travel time, and attenuation processes alongside reservoir releases. The work uses WEB.BM to meet irrigation and downstream demands under water licences and WCO/IFN constraints. The position ends December 31, 2028.

Key Responsibilities:

- Apply optimization algorithms to river basin management
- Optimize water balance throughout the canal system
- Consider canal travel time and attenuation processes
- Balance reservoir storage and releases
- Connect WEB.BM with other software components

Requirements:

- Ability to work in person at North Campus, Edmonton
- Knowledge of irrigation district water management
- Understanding of canal system water balance
- Familiarity with reservoir storage optimization
- Awareness of SCADA data monitoring systems

Combine river basin research, canal water balance, optimization algorithms, and reservoir management within an Alberta irrigation project.
