Definition

A gate used to regulate the flow or level of water in a watercourse (for example: stream, irrigation ditch, or sluice).

Description

Sluice gates are normally installed in a superstructure and/or frame and most commonly slide vertically to open but on occasion may instead slide horizontally. When opened they allow water to flow under or beside the gate. Commonly sluice gates will be installed perpendicular to the orientation of the flow of water within a watercourse and will be constructed as wide as the watercourse they regulate. Sluice gates may also be installed along the margins of watercourses for the purpose of controlling or permitting the flow of water to or from that watercourse into adjacent watercourses. Sluice gates may be used to regulate both tidal or non-tidal waters.
