[0002] At present, the rural water diversion facility construction is relatively backward, and most of them are only simple ditches and channels dug from the side of a stream to divert the stream water to a sedimentation tank, and then the water is transported to the home through the pipeline, and the construction of the water diversion inlet has not considered the problems of sand flushing and discharging and smooth water flow.

[0003] The mountainous stream water contains a large amount of silt, which often causes excessive silt deposition in the water diversion channel, serious wear of the channel bottom and serious silt deposition in the sedimentation tank. At the same time, there are more and more extreme weather, such as extreme rainstorm and mountain flood, which often cause sand blockage at the water diversion inlet, and manual cleaning is required, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The extreme drought requires the water diversion inlet to be as low as possible, but the low-elevation water diversion inlet will introduce more silt, and the water flow through the low-elevation water diversion inlet is too large during the rainstorm, so it is necessary to release part of the water flow at the water diversion inlet.

[0004] Moreover, the water diversion inlet is near the mountain, and the surrounding terrain is large, when the water flow enters the water diversion inlet at a large angle or irregular speed, vortex and turbulent flow phenomena are easily formed, thereby causing erosion to the facilities at the water diversion inlet.
