Water level regulation of irrigation canals represents a major challenge for control
systems design. Those systems exhibit large dynamic variations in their operating conditions.
To overcome this fact, robust controllers should be applied. The sliding mode control paradigm
reveals this ability which make it a suitable candidate to be incorporated in the irrigation canal
control loop. Moreover, its
exibility can be further potentiated by extending the ordinary
formulation by adding fractional-order integro-di erential operations. In this work, fractionalorder
sliding mode control is applied to the above mentioned problem. This application
represents a novelty and, according to the obtained simulation results, leads to an accurate
and proper performance when compared to its integer-order counterpart and to a fractional
proportional-integrative controller, recently proposed for this problem.
