Sluice
A sluice ( ) is a water channel containing a sluice gate, a type of lock to manage the water flow and water level. There are various types of sluice gates, including flap sluice gates and fan gates. Different depths are calculated when design sluice gates. Sluices are used for channeling water toward a water mill, including for transporting logs from steep hillsides.

The Latin exclusa is the feminine past participle of excludere ("to shut out, exclude"), from *ex-* ("out") and claudere ("to close"). Regional ...
