Floodgate

Floodgates are adjustable gates to control water flow in stream, reservoir or levee systems. They may be designed to adjust flow rates in sluices and canals, or to set spillway crest heights in dams. Or they may be designed to stop water flow entirely as part of a levee or storm surge system.
