Open problems and research perspectives for irrigation channels
1. Introduction: Management of canal networks at the age of information technology. With the miniaturization of sensors and their decreasing costs, the paradigm of instrumentation of the built infrastructure and the environment has now been underway for several years, leading to numerous successful and sometimes spectacular realizations such as the instrumentation of the Golden Gate with wireless sensors a few years ago.

期刊介绍:
NHM offers a strong combination of three features: Interdisciplinary character, specific focus, and deep mathematical content. Also, the journal aims to create a link between the discrete and the continuous communities, which distinguishes it from other journals with strong PDE orientation.
NHM publishes original contributions of high quality in networks, heterogeneous media and related fields. NHM is thus devoted to research work on complex media arising in mathematical, physical, engineering, socio-economical and bio-medical problems.
