Conserving water resources for optimal utilization and for both agricultural and drinking water purposes is the need of the hour. Canals, sub-canals are the arteries for water bodies. Design, control and commanding flow rate in the sub-canal system is the prime motive of the paper for which, RADIAL GATES can help in solving hydrodynamic flow control. Aluminum Composite Panel (ACP) and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composite materials are used in the construction of radial gates. The composite materials can be used to sustain high loads and Hydro-dynamic pressures created by water, stored in the dam reservoir and sub canals. The gates are designed in such a way to eradicate the corrosion and icing effects from desalinated water. The gates had been experimentally tested in three ways to know their shock absorbing capacity and to know the shock resistance and buckling capacities under varying loads. The tests conducted are 1)Impact Test to know the strength using IZOD impact testing setup, 2) Tension and torsion test for flexural rigidity using UTM. The optimal ply angle for gate lift is suggested as 28.5 degrees to improve the axial and shearing loads. The gates are light in weight and more economical for the use in dams and reservoir or sub canals
