Sluice or regulator is a water channel consisting of an array of large gates that can be opened or closed to control the amount of water passing a barrage or entering a canal. The gates are set between flanking piers responsible for resisting water actions. Barrage is a kind of low-head dam in the regulating project which is often used to control and to stabilize water flow for irrigation system, navigation system, stagnant water draining system, or hydropower station. Barrages are also built at the mouth of rivers or lagoons to prevent tidal incursion or to utilize the tidal flow for electric power generating.
