ABSTRACT:
A hinged, folding box-shaped device for controlling the water flow between fields, such as rice fields, including crop fields, divided into separate specific areas by dirt comprised checks, levees, and ditches. The box has a generally rectangular configuration and is constructed of generally medium-weight aluminum. It has a generaly square, horizontal floor member, contiguous vertical side panels attached by hinges, generally rectangular, vertical side flaps contiguous to the vertical side panels, attached by hinges and horizontal, generally rectangular bottom flaps contiguous to the horizontal floor member attached by hinges. One vertical aluminum channel is positioned midway on each side panel interior for adjusting or removing the water control panel, generally comprised of wood, which regulates the water flow, as required, through the box. The box is secured in an open vertical position by two top aluminum, generally horizontal strap braces, generally attached by bolts and located generally near each end, upper edge, of the side panels of the box. The side and bottom flaps, complemented with earth, secure the box in place and direct water flow to prevent buoyancy, earthen errosion and crop destruction.
