Highlights

 

The ITRC Flap Gate is a simple, inexpensive hydraulic gate for automatic upstream water level control.  It operates steadily at varying flow conditions and maintains the water level elevation typically within ±0.5 inches of design, allowing maximum flow through the canal with little deviation.  Since it contains fewer mechanical parts than most other gates, the ITRC Flap Gate can be completed in as little as one week from design to installation, and is often installed in less than two hours while water is flowing.  The ITRC Flap Gate requires no electricity and has been installed at over 200 locations in California.
