  2. Flow control structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_structure

    A flow control structure is a device that alters the flow of water in a stream, drainage channel or pipe. As a group these are passive structures since they operate without intervention under different amounts of water flow and their impact changes based on the quantity of water available.

  3. Flow device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_device

    Flow devices are man-made solutions to beaver-related flooding problems. Flow devices are relatively cost-effective, low-maintenance solutions that regulate the water level of beaver dams and keep culverts open. [1] [2] [3] Traditional solutions have involved the trapping and removal of all the beavers in an area. While this is sometimes ...

  4. Water timer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_timer

    The gearbox in a ball valve timer makes a rumbling sound when actuated. The solenoid type switching timers contain a solenoid that relieves pressure on a diaphragm in the water-flow tube or moves a stopper into the water flow area to regulate flow. The solenoid type uses no gears and makes a tapping sound when the solenoid is activated.

  5. Nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nozzle

    A nozzle is a device designed to control the direction or characteristics of a fluid flow (specially to increase velocity) as it exits (or enters) an enclosed chamber or pipe. A nozzle is often a pipe or tube of varying cross sectional area, and it can be used to direct or modify the flow of a fluid (liquid or gas). Nozzles are frequently used ...

  6. Backflow prevention device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backflow_prevention_device

    In water distribution systems, water is normally maintained at a significant pressure to enable water to flow from the tap, shower, or other fixture. Water pressure may fail or be reduced when a water main bursts, pipes freeze, or there is unexpectedly high demand on the water system (for example, when several fire hydrants are opened).

  7. Ball valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_valve

    A ball valve is a flow control device which uses a hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball to control fluid flowing through it. It is open when the hole through the middle of the ball is in line with the flow inlet, and closed when it is pivoted 90 degrees by the valve handle, blocking the flow. [1]
