The gate which regulates the sluice is a valve known as the Sluice valve. These gates are made to be sealed in one direction and are typically used to regulate water levels
and flow in Pipe streams and canals. Sluice gate valves can also be used in wastewater treatment plants. The sluice gate valve is the common type of valve that is used in process plants
to handle slurries. In operation, these valves are either fully opened or fully closed.
