Abstract:
An automated water control device comprises a rotatable housing that can be incrementally positioned to control flow of water over an upper or weir edge of the housing. The device is installed at a control point in an impoundment area, such as a settling pond. The housing is selectively rotated to raise and lower the height of the weir edge to a target gate height. Automatic control is provided for operation of the device by a controller communicating with an actuator. A system of the invention includes one or more water control devices and the controller. A method of the invention includes controlling flow of water from an impounded water source by use of the automated water control device. Manual or semi-automated embodiments are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 13):
The water control device, as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein:\n one of said user interfaces includes a user interface with a selectable option for setting a gate level and a graphical display showing an estimated drawdown rate of a height of the water in the impounded area over time.
