This gate will block water until water level rise above appointed level which we can set.
For example we can set water level 4 and water can flow through water gate only when water level will rise at level 5 or higher.

Does this idea also include a President by the name of Richard Nixon? XD

EDIT:All jokes aside, like PigtailLlama said, I think floodgates would be good

...I'm pretty sure a floodgate and a few pressure plates will do what you want.

I'm try to flood room for train swimming skill. I noticed dwarfs can't drown even with level 6 of water. But how can I flood room not higher above water level 4? I tried to make this construction -

~ - water flows from left
D - door
P - Pressure plate linked to nearest door.

1 plate was set to close the door when water level is above 6.
2 plate was set to close the door when water level is above 5.
3 plate was set to close the door when water level is above 4.

I thought this will work but its not. The water level in the last room was 6.
The doors are closing to slow.

I would try increasing the distance between doors, using a long possibly winding corridor, and put the pressure plates at the inflow door instead of the outflow door.
