Patent ID: 7125200

Claim:
A flow control system adapted to operate within a control structure adjacent to a pond having a water level, the flow control system comprising: a) a flow control module having a buoyant portion and an intake portion, a surface defining an interior chamber region and an orifice of a known cross section, positioned at a known depth from a mean water level line within the interior chamber, where the mean water level line corresponds to the height of the water level of the pond, b) a water receiving component comprising vertical displacement system adapted to reposition the flow control module, the water receiving component being in communication with the flow control module where the water receiving component provides an interior passageway that is in communication with the orifice of the flow control module where the flow control module is adapted to allow a predetermined flow rate of water through the orifice when the water level within the control structure is at a low level or at a high level.
