SteadyFlow Gates maintain a consistent flow rate for a range of headwater depths, enhancing irrigation efficiency and accuracy and reducing the size of stormwater detention basins—all without requiring electricity. Models are available for irrigation or stormwater applications with flows of up to 20 cfs and maximum depths of up to 10’.

SAVING
TIME
The SteadyFlow Gate significantly reduces or eliminates the time spent by water users and ditch riders adjusting headgates in response to fluctuating stream or reservoir depths by automatically adjusting without the use of electricity.
PROTECTING THE
SYSTEM
When storm events occur, irrigation systems can be overwhelmed without notice, damaging miles of infrastructure. Too often, water users and ditch riders risk their own safety by wading through floodwaters to close headgates during a flood event. The SteadyFlow Gate automatically reduces the opening area during a flood event to protect all of the downstream irrigation infrastructure as well as the adjacent properties.
ENSURING EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF WATER RESOURCES
The SteadyFlow Gate ensures that water users are using their full water right, even when the stream or reservoir depth decreases. It also reassures water commissioners and neighbors downstream that water users aren’t using more than their right when the headwater depth increases. This decreases conflicts and excuses about water usage to ensure equitable and efficient distribution of water resources.
RESTORING RIPARIAN ENVIRONMENTS
Traditional headgates, without constant monitoring and adjustment, decrease the effect of natural stream fluctuation. The SteadyFlow Gate on the other hand allows the remaining flow in the stream to better match natural fluctuation patterns and has numerous benefits to the environment.
