Abstract:
A method for delaying the maximum rate of discharge of water from a stormwater retention basin includes varying the vertical distance of an intake opening from the waterline inversely with water depth. A flow control device for carrying out the method includes an intake pipe with an intake opening that is pivotally mounted to a float body, the pivot being spaced from the intake opening.
