sluice gates

A sluice gate is a barrier used to control water flow in channels, rivers, or dams. It typically consists of a flat or curved metal or concrete door that can be raised or lowered to manage water levels and flow rates. By adjusting the gate, operators can prevent flooding, divert water for irrigation, or regulate water flow for hydroelectric plants. Sluice gates are essential tools in water management systems, allowing precise control of water movement to meet different environmental, agricultural, or infrastructural needs.
