Fighting Mother Nature

As stated I’m fighting Mother Nature and she almost took me out last night.
Photo explained
Each picture is the past consecutive days me preparing for the rain the peak of the rain and the next day I let it run dry. And the screen was only set in place 5 seconds before I took the picture
My Goal
I’m trying to build a holding tank to interrupt this season run off. After the damn there is a canal that runs the full length in front of my house that feeds a waterfall. The canal seems to be sufficient to channel hundreds of gallons upon demand however I need suggestions for a control gate valve that can be cleaned out easily and be adjustable
because what I had is no longer in place because the water pressure blew it out
I’m doing all the work by myself and by hand using mostly scrap materials
