English: A sluice is a water channel that is controlled at its head by a gate. A sluice gate is traditionally a wooden or metal plate which slides in grooves in the sides of the channel. Sluice gates are commonly used to control water levels and flow rates in rivers and canals.
Nederlands: Een sluis (ook wel: overlaat) houdt het waterpeil van een rivier of kanaal in stand, maar maakt in tegenstelling tot een stuw scheepvaart wel mogelijk.
Deutsch: Diese Kategorie ist für wasserbauliche Anlage zur Wasserstandsregulierung wie Wehre (Stauwerke) und Schleusen
