contents This paper addresses the management of water flow in a rectangular open channel, considering the dynamic nature of both the channel's bathymetry and the suspended sediment particles caused by entrainment and deposition effects. The control-oriented model under study is a set of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) describing conservation of mass and momentum while accounting for constitutive relations that govern sediment erosion and deposition phenomena. The proposed boundary control problem presents a fresh perspective in water canal management and expands Saint-Venant Exner (SVE) control frameworks by integrating dynamics related to the transport of fine particles. After linearization, PDE backstepping design is employed to stabilize both the bathymetry, the water dynamics together with the concentration of suspended sediment particles. Two underflow sluice gates are used for flow control at the upstream and downstream boundaries with only the downstream component being actuated. An observer-based backstepping control design is carried out for the downstream gate using state measurement at the upstream gate to globally exponentially stabilize the linearized system to a desired equilibrium point in $\mathscr{L}^2$ sense. The stability analysis is performed on the linearized model which is a system of four coupled PDEs, three of which are rightward convecting and one leftward. The proposed control design has the potential to facilitate efficient reservoir flushing operations. Consistent simulation results are presented to illustrate the feasibility of the designed control law.
