Description
Designed for Accurate Water Delivery
Automated Flow Headgates give farmers confidence that the right amount of water is being delivered to the field. Instead of relying on canal levels, manual gate adjustments, or estimates, the headgate actively adjusts to maintain a specified target flow rate.
This ensures crops receive the water they should, and farmers are notified when they are not receiving the amount of water expected.
How It Helps on the Farm
Once installed, the headgate can be monitored and controlled directly from the farmer’s phone through the SAE Water app.
This allows farmers to:
-
Control the headgate remotely without visiting the site
-
Automatically maintain consistent flow regardless of canal level changes
-
Track how much water has been delivered over time
The result is more accurate irrigation, improved water efficiency, and better insight into how water is being applied across the operation.
Built to Work Alone or as a System
Automated Flow Headgates can be used as a standalone solution or paired with other SAE Water products for a more complete automated irrigation system.
When combined with Automated Valves and Water Presence Sensors, irrigation decisions are based on real data instead of assumptions. Together, these tools optimize water delivery, reduce waste, and make it possible to calculate exactly how much water is applied to crops, something that has not been possible before.
Built for agricultural environments, the headgates are designed for long-term field use with reliable automation hardware, remote monitoring, and ongoing system updates through the SAE Water platform.
