0 an artificial channel for carrying water, with an opening at one end to control the flow of the water
1 If water sluices out from somewhere, it flows in large amounts:
Water sluiced out from the pipes.
There are two separate projects, the sluices and the reservoir.
We have a lot of huge sluices in the peatland area, which sometimes can be as much as 20, even 30, ft across.
I am concerned with drainage that goes into rivers and the effect of people leaving open sluices which should be shut.
The £8·27 million includes the barrage structure, the locks, the refuge harbour, the fish passes and the sluices—and roads and services.
Sluicing should be done with mechanical sluicing equipment and disinfection is achieved by means of soaking in a recommended solution of disinfectant.
We must seriously consider putting grids on sluices to ensure that the smolts are not passing through to the fish farms.
If ever this canal is to be put into operation again, the sluices and the locks must be renewed.
I was also interested in the threats by local farmers to close sluices.
