Abstract: The Queensland Government Hydraulics Laboratory has constructed a 2500 m`2 dynamic flood study model of the main stream and five significant tributaries of the Maroochy River of Southern Queensland. This paper examines the practical aspects, including the problems, of the use of a minicomputer system, together with a sophisticated experiment control software package, "GEOAP", developed by the National Research Council of Canada, to imp1lement the required interactive, real time automatic control functions associated with the generation of time variant tides and flood inflows, and the data acquisition and analysis functions associated with automatic measurement of related flows and water levels.
