1. A valve for use in a flow management system comprising: a valve including a body, a shuttle, and a seat closure;a rotatable shaft passing through the body and the seat closure, the rotatable shaft for operating a mechanical pump;translation of the seat closure along the rotatable shaft operable to mate the seat closure with a seat of the shuttle; and,during an operating mode, a valve exiting flow path established perpendicular to a shaft longitudinal axis after a spring between the shuttle and a valve body end is compressed. 2. A valve for use in a flow management system comprising: a valve including a body, a shuttle, and a seat closure;a rotatable shaft passing through the body and the seat closure, the rotatable shaft for operating a mechanical pump;translation of the seat closure along the rotatable shaft operable to mate the seat closure with a seat of the shuttle; and,during an operating mode, a valve exiting flow path established parallel to a shaft longitudinal axis after a spring between the shuttle and a valve body end is decompressed. 3. A valve for use in a flow management system comprising: a valve including a body, a shuttle, and a seat closure;the body and seat closure configured to receive a rotatable shaft passing therethrough, the rotatable shaft for operating a mechanical pump;the seat closure configured for translating along a rotatable shaft;the seat closure operable to mate with a seat of the shuttle;a cyclic operating mode that establishes a valve first exiting flow path parallel to a longitudinal axis of the valve and a valve second exiting flow path perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the valve;the valve configured to utilize the first exiting flow path when a first flow at a first flowrate separates the seat closure and a shuttle seat;the valve configured to utilize the second exiting flow path when a second flow at a second flowrate fails to separate the seat closure and the shuttle seat;a liquid reservoir in fluid communication with a pump suction, the reservoir configured to receive the second flow;the pump configured to remove fluid collected in the reservoir via the first exiting flow path; and,a spring for biasing the position of the shuttle with respect to the valve body. 4.
