Characteristics of a tendon driven soft gate for canal flow regulation

Surface irrigation in farming is controlled by canal gates that regulate the flow of water. Canal gates have traditionally been fabricated from rigid material and require construction work to implement them. This results in a relatively high cost, and the inability to easily relocate them if necessa...
