About Thirsty Duck, LP
Thirsty Duck, LP is the global leader in buoyant flow control, providing innovative products and technology to the stormwater industry. The company designs, manufactures and markets two lines of self-skimming, patented, floating outlets that have the ability to achieve nearly constant discharge, regardless of headwater depth. When sized to deliver the maximum allowable outflow rate, detention storage volume can be reduced by up to 50%, depending on site-specific hydrologic characteristics, analysis method and regulatory agency criteria. The excess system volume produced by the Thirsty Duck line of products can be utilized to meet client — or project specific– needs, such as providing additional water quality volume in environmentally sensitive areas; providing additional flood attenuation volume in flood prone areas, and/or; creating more buildable land when property size is limited. Thirsty Duck floating outlets and skimmers can be used in new construction or retrofit applications.
