CANON CITY, Colo. - s4story -- SteadyFlow LLC, a new Colorado water technology company that spun out of 3 Rocks Engineering and Surveying, today announced the launch of a patented, fully mechanical technology for water management. The SteadyFlow Gate is a non-electric flow-control gate designed to automatically maintain consistent water flow for irrigation and water-management applications.

The SteadyFlow Gate addresses a longstanding challenge for water users: maintaining the desired flow when water levels fluctuate on a daily basis. Traditional headgates often require repeated manual adjustment as water levels rise and fall, often several times a day. SteadyFlow's automatic regulation can save time, improve predictability and reduce the need for manual intervention as upstream conditions change.

"Managing water requires constant attention to changing conditions as water flows shift, and within our industry, we're still doing much of this work by hand to keep up," said Alex Ewers, founder of SteadyFlow. "We developed the SteadyFlow Gate to take that burden off people's plates with an easy-to-use, straightforward, mechanical solution that automatically handles a task that otherwise requires someone to drive back and forth and adjust gates manually. Our goal is to make it easier for people to get the water they're entitled to while making the system simpler to operate."

For irrigation users, benefits include fewer manual gate adjustments, enhanced infrastructure protection, more equitable water distribution and support for riparian environments. The system can also help ensure users receive the water they are entitled to as levels decrease, protecting what little water users have in low water or drought years.

For stormwater applications, the gate can better regulate discharge from detention basins, reduce flood risk and potentially reduce the required detention-basin footprint.

SteadyFlow's current design is intended for flows of approximately 0.1 to 20 cubic feet per second (cfs) with 1 to 10 feet of available head.

The gate was developed by engineers and agricultural producers at 3 Rocks Engineering and Surveying and was patented in 2017. Development of the SteadyFlow Gate has received support from both state and federal programs. 3 Rocks received an Early-Stage Capital and Retention grant through the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade's Advanced Industries Accelerator Program, and the technology received a USDA Small Business Innovation Research Phase II grant to support continued research and development.
