What is a "sluice"?

A sluice is a water-controlled gate or channel used to manage the flow of water, often in rivers, canals, or dams. It can be opened or closed to allow water to flow through, helping to regulate water levels, direct water to different areas, or control flooding.

They are an important part of water management systems to prevent damage or ensure proper flow.
