The Operation Theory of Sluice Gates
The operation theory of Sluice Gates, also known as sleuth gate, involves controlling the flow of water by raising or lowering a gate to regulate the water level. **Slide gates** are similar to sluice gates but operate horizontally rather than vertically. Sluice gates are commonly used in irrigation systems, dams, and water treatment plants to manage water flow and prevent flooding. The design and mechanism of sluice gates allow for efficient and precise control of water levels, making them essential components in water management infrastructure.
