Summary:There is described a novel fluid level control system, particularly useful f or controlling the level of water flowing in an open channel. The fluid level control system comprises a gate having a flap portion (3) interconnected to a lever portion (5). The flap portion is rotatable about a first pivot point ( 8) and comprises a first weight. The system further comprises a frame (1) which is fixed with respect to the flap portion. A linkage (11, 12, 13) interconnects the flap portion and the lever portion, and is connected to th e frame at a second pivot point (10) different than the first pivot point (8). Under changing flow conditions in the channel, the present system operates b y both : absolute movement of the lever portion and the flap portion, and (ii) relative movement between the lever portion and the flap portion. A fluid treatment system comprising the fluid level control system and a method for controlling the level of a flowing fluid are also described.
