<p>A compact system is provided for diverting excess flow of liquid such as waste water from a conduit and to retain debris within the conduit. This incorporates a control section (22), which may be generally cylindrical, and arranged to be rotatable about a longitudinal axis (23), and defining a discharge port (24) through which excess water can leave the conduit. In operation, the depth of water in the conduit would be measured (15) downstream of the control section (22), and the rotation of the control section (22) adjusted in accordance with whether the water surface is above or below a depth limit. The discharge port (24) may include a grille to retain any debris, and the apparatus may include brushes (27), scrapers (29) or water jets (26) to dislodge any material held on the grille when the discharge port is at a top centre position.</p> |
