ABSTRACT:
A self-regulating device for controlling the flow of water from a conduit open end into a reservoir or wet marshland and to an outside body of water, such as tidal water, which includes a gate pivotally mounted at its bottom edge so as to be pivotable upwardly to close the conduit end. A rod is pivotally connected to the upper edge of the gate and extends upwardly through a slotted bracket, and a float is mounted on the upper portion of the rod above the bracket. As the level of the tidal water rises, the float will rise and move the gate into the closed position.
