(3480) Take-off distributor, Take-off divisor, or Take-off divider
Device placed in the offtake structure where volume of water to be diverted is only a small fraction of the water flowing in the parent channel, the volume drawn is generally constant in spite of the variations in flow and water levels in the parent channel. Except in small variations of water levels in the parent channel, the water level upstream of these take-off distributors is kept constant by automatic gates (illustrated).
