barrage Explanation: Definitions of barrage on the Web: * A human-made barrier built across a water course. www.ergon.com.au/energyed/glossary.asp 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. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrage (engineering) (although this page redirects to 'sluice gate' - still lots of info about various different types. The 陸閘 used for flood control at the Nagara River seems to be called an "estuary barrage."

Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sluice#Types_of_sluice_gates (the 2nd type listed) |
