WinGate is alpha version software designed to calibrate canal check gates for flow measurement. WinGate can analyze radial gates and slide gates. The current version is Version 0.21, updated 10/23/09. Primary funding for WinGate's development has come from the Bureau of Reclamation Science & Technology Program and the Salt River Project.

WinGate applies the Energy-Momentum (E-M) method to compute gate ratings. Primary documentation for this method is contained in Clemmens et al. (2003) and Wahl (2005).
