Sluice gates regulate the flow of water in canals, rivers, and ditches. Fast rises in water levels during rain events with high runoff can be managed by closing the sluice gates. Opening the gates permits excess water to be drained from fields, and closing them during the dry season can prevent salt water intrusion, especially at high tides.
