An overshot gate is designed so that it can be manufactured by local irrigation district personnel. This gate uses a linear actuator to provide the movement for the gate. All other components required for this device are off‐the‐shelf components. The gate has performed with few problems for more than four irrigation seasons. All of the components used in this application have functioned without failure except for a problem with the gate motor. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
