The invention relates to improved water control gates and related inflatable actuators, and associated sealing, manufacture and operation apparatus and methods. Advancements in technologies related to air fitting design, inflated bladder stress relief, inflatable bladder strength enhancement, water gate related slide friction mitigation, abutment and other impounded water seals, gate panel fabrication, traffic accommodating water impoundment structures, and water gate panel system operation efficiency, as well as nappe aeration, hinges, and bladder manufacture technology are disclosed herein.

A rural landscape-type nitrogen and phosphorus ecological interception ditch system and a farmland drainage nitrogen and phosphorus interception method using the system are provided. The system includes a sediment buffer zone, an ecological ditch unit, an interception-conversion pool and a field ridge hedge fence; the sediment buffer zone, the ecological ditch unit, and the interception-conversion pool are sequentially arranged in a continuous ditch along a direction of a water flow; and the field ridge hedge fence is arranged on field ridges on one side or both sides of the ditch. The present disclosure can, on the basis of not affecting normal production functions of a farmland, further exert an ecological role of the farmland, and use the farmland as an assimilation sink for environmental nitrogen and phosphorus, so as to optimize drainage water quality and improve a farmland ecological environment.

A dynamic fluid flow control structure is provided that allows precise control over fluid flow using a series of two or more orifices, at least one of which may be reconfigured to change its flow characteristics. A flood control system and a flood control process are provided that emulate a preset discharge profile over time. Some versions of the structure, process, and system can be used to provide controlled storm discharge patterns in a developed area that emulate the natural pre-development discharge patterns.

A filter or intake screen 100 (“filter”) for removing parties from a fluid has a filter media 110 having a first side 120 and an opposite second side 130, wherein the fluid flows, in use, from the first side 120 to the second side 130. The filter 100 further comprises a discharge port 160 provided at a first end of the filter media 110 on the second side 130 of the filter media 110. A plurality of vanes 140 are provided to the second side 130 of the filter media and are configured to direct the flow of water from the filter media 110 towards the discharge port 160. The flow of water from the vanes 140 discharges into an interior volume 150 which is in fluid communication with the discharge port 160, wherein a cross-sectional area of the interior volume 150 decreases with increasing distance from the discharge port 160.

An intake screen assembly including an intake member, a screen support member, and a screen member coupled to the screen support member. The screen member may be formed from a material, such as copper-nickel, that is different from a material, such as stainless steel, used to form the intake member and/or the screen support member. The intake screen assembly may include corrosion protection members for preventing contact between the components of the screen assembly that are formed from dissimilar materials. The assembly may be formed by coupling the screen support member to the intake member, and coupling the screen member to the screen support member.
