Diversion point water delivery control system

A diversion point water delivery control system comprising:

• a headgate assembly with
• a first gate configured to open and close a first aperture configured to connect to a first generally open channeled waterway
• a powered actuator connected to the first gate and configured to move the position of the first gate relative to the first aperture;
• and
• a linkage connecting and between the first gate and the powered actuator
• a headgate box configured to generally surround the first gate and first aperture and form a volume adjacent thereto, the headgate box having a second gate configured to open and close a second aperture located on the headgate box that is configured to connect to a second generally open channeled waterway;
• a first sensor attached to a first side of the headgate box and configured to measure a first water level outside the headgate box;
• a second sensor attached to a second side of the headgate box opposite the first sensor and configured to measure a second water level inside the headgate box;
• and
• a powered control unit connected to the powered actuator and the first and second sensors, the powered control unit having a computer and memory with modules for controlling the powered actuator, first sensor and second sensor;
• and
• a transceiver for receiving and sending one or more of user instructions, water level data, water flow data, and system status to an off-site location that is in communication with the system.

• a computer and memory with modules for one or more of managing the power of the powered control unit;
• initiating, sending, and receiving information from the transceiver;
• system operation, including setting and achieving a target flow rate at a point of diversion by positioning the first gate;
• setting times of duration for one or more first gate positions;
• and
• scheduling the time of one or more first gate positions;
• a transceiver for receiving and sending one or more of user instructions, water level data, water flow data, and system status to one or more of a base station for amplifying transmissions to and from the system, network, cloud, mobile phone, laptop, and desktop computer.
