In this paper, coordinating technique for the multi-layer model predictive control (MPC) of complex water network is proposed. A multi-layer topology structure resulting from a functional decomposition of water network is briefly presented. Inside each layer, a MPC based controller is used. Between the related two layers, a multi-layer coordinating mechanism is provided to generate control strategies which consider objectives and time scales of both layers. Optimal Path Method (OPM) is used to
