A pond, with a sluiceway which, when opened, gives on the ravine.
|
|
Booms were strung, forming a funnel of which the sluiceway was the outlet.
|
|
Over the course of two months, Mr. Stillman had painstakingly drilled out a sluiceway.
|
|
Cottrell chose a spot overlooking the packed logs and the sliding water of the sluiceway.
|
|
Construction activities at the intake, sluiceway and powerhouse are essentially completed and equipment manufacturing is finished.
|
|
The men hastily withdrew, first taking the precaution to remove the plank that covered the sluiceway.
|
|
On the other side of New Milford, Martins Creek follows the Summit Sluiceway south into Tunkhannock Creek.
|
|
Entrance was made at last through the sluiceway, or open sewer, draining out under the city walls.
|
|
There will be a minor excavation of the riverbed immediately downstream of the sluiceway to accommodate the turbine.
|
|
He could not escape, for the removal of the plank from the sluiceway made the place literally an island.
|
|
The plank over that sluiceway makes a lot of racket, and the scoundrel may hear us and slip away.
|
|
Downstream movement through the dams are only possible through operating turbines, open spill gates and the ice and trash sluiceway.
|
|
With cautious strokes they paddled on until a sudden glimpse of the sluiceway leading under the mill caused them to pull up short.
|
|
The buildings are long gone, but some foundations are still there, as well as the nearby mill stream and part of a dam and sluiceway.
|
|
The Rocky Island Lake Control Dam is a reinforced concrete structure, about 20 m high at its maximum height at the sluiceway and 128 m long.
|
|
The sluiceway dam is an 8 m high, 59 m long reinforced concrete gravity structure incorporating two motorized steel gate sluices and seven wooden stoplog sluices.
|
|
Water will pass through the newly created sluiceway, flow through a submerged turbine, and discharge directly east of the dam into the existing downstream river way.
|
|
The workers removed dirt and old debris that had covered over a stone dam and sluiceway that dates to the 18th-century industrial period of Falls Village.
|
|
There is no pavement for the foot-goer but the sharp, round stones sticking up from side to side, and sloping down to the sluiceway in the middle.
|
|
A 20th-century summer cottage has been built up against the chimney upon the mill's original foundation. Other remnants include an engine mount and an embankment for a sluiceway.
|
|
The access roads, transmission lines, switchyard, creek diversion using cofferdams, and the excavation of the emergency spillway, the intake, the sluiceway and the powerhouse have all been virtually completed.
|

The Weir is founded on a solid granite bar extending across the river. It is 82.3m (270') between abutments, and is divided into a sluiceway 12.19m (40') wide, a lock chamber 12.19m (40') wide, and a concrete weir 50.29m (165') wide. The sluiceway and lock chamber area each controlled at their upstream ends by single iron-framed sluice gates of the "Stoney" pattern manufactured by Ransomes & Rapier of Ipswich, England. The total lift of the gates is 10.67m (35').
|
|
The first sluiceway was near the base of the dam on the east side. The second was about 6 m (20 ft) above the base on the west side of the dam. A coffer dam located near the head of rapids was used to block off the rapids until each sluiceway could be sealed up. A deep waste water weir, its channel blasted through a bedrock ridge to the south of the dam, allowed the top of the dam to be completed.
|
|
Furthermore, as it is economically advantageous to execute sluiceway and sluice pipe works for river embankments in the low-water season, i.e., in winter, it is desirable to construct accompanying embankments also in winter.
|
|
The second phase also included the pipeline connecting Spada Lake to a new hydroelectric powerhouse and from there to the Chaplain Reservoir. In June 2016, the PUD began demolition of the dam's sluiceway to re-open the upper Sultan River basin to spawning fish.

The elevation near the mouth of Bear Hollow Creek is above sea level. The elevation of the creek's source is between above sea level. Bear Hollow, the valley of Bear Hollow Creek, served as a deep glacial sluiceway during glaciation. It drained Glacial Lake Bowman into Harveys Creek.
|
|
Bear Hollow Creek is a tributary of Harveys Creek in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately long and flows through Lake Township. The creek was used as a water supply in the early 1900s. During glacial times, its valley, Bear Hollow, served as a glacial sluiceway.

The California sluiceway consisted of three iron gates while the Arizona had one. Mexican-Americans mostly worked on the dam while a few Native American Indians did as well. Skilled white-labor worked in the cooler months. The Laguna Dam's design and size made it a peculiar structure for the time.
|
|
Lee Mountain and Summer Hill are both in the vicinity of the creek. It flows through a gorge at one point. The creek is in the ridge and valley region and is near the southern terminus of the Wisconsinan glaciation. It served as a sluiceway for glacial meltwater during the aforementioned glacial period.
|
|
A concrete wing wall anchors the dam into the eastern river bank. The first span of the dam, between the eastern wing wall and the pump house, is wide. The brick-walled pump house has a gabled tile roof, a small chimney, and two round ventilators. It sits above four arched sluiceway openings.

The maximum altitude exceeds , and local relief exceeds . Only along the Wabash sluiceway is the relief greater. Till and water-laid sands and gravels occur together in rather complex relationships, and a few short eskers are associated with it in the northern part of the county. The largest, in reaches and forms a discontinuous eastwest ridge for about 2 miles.
|
|
By December 1908, the water bypass around the dam was complete and workers began to pour the rock-fill. Three large concrete walls supported by sheet-wood pilings were built across the river for the dam's foundation. Rock-fill was placed in between and on the outsides of these walls for support. The California sluiceway consisted of three iron gates while the Arizona had one.
|
|
The dam has two intakes, one at the north end and one at the south end. The north intake transfers water from the reservoir via high-pressure conduit to the powerhouse at the northern base of the dam. The south intake feeds water into the dam's spillway, from which it travels through a sluiceway to a stilling basin at the southern base of the dam.
|
|
It has three sections: the central span is , a south wing directs flow to the South Canal, and a wing directs water into the North Canal. It has a gatehouse, from which 24 gates in its sluiceway were controlled before the controls were electrified. Nearby on the island are also the surviving gatekeeper's house, an 1845 Greek Revival wood frame structure, and a c. 1860s barn.

During the late Wisconsinan glaciation, Salem Creek, as well as several other streams in the area, served as a sluiceway for glacial meltwater. The terminus of the Woodfordian glaciers crosses the creek upstream of the mouth. The terminus then runs northward for to the foot of Lee Mountain. A 1978 report noted "spectacular" signs of glacial meltwater erosion on Salem Creek in a long stretch just south of the glacial terminus, near an old dam.

Underneath the building was a granite sluiceway, in which the old waterwheel and related equipment could be found. The main building was enlarged by three relatively small frame additions. The factory was built in 1834 by Zephaniah Talbot and Samuel Salmond, who had acquired the water rights of the 18th-century mill that previously stood on the site. The Salmond family operated the factory, producing horse tack for many years, until the mid-20th century.

A 1911 report mentioned two tunnels leading from the mine and entering loose rocks on a hillside. The report noted that the tunnels had a low discharge and their waters were slightly acidic and stated that during rainy conditions they might drain into Rocky Run. The watershed of Rocky Run has experienced glaciation. A meltwater sluiceway with a depth of cuts through the Little Shickshinny-Rocky Run divide between the valleys of Rocky Run and Little Shickshinny Creek.

A dam, still partially in evidence, extended across Mill Stream, with a sluiceway near the building. The mill was built in 1749, and was successively adapted to new technologies until 1939, when it ceased operations. Its original grindstone was imported from England, and the dam was originally granite with pine posts. A new grindstone was imported from France in 1866, and the dam was rebuilt in 1963, with most of the old structure retained under the new.

Jackson's Furnace Site, also known as Stroup's Furnace, is a historic archaeological site located near Smyrna, York County, South Carolina. The site includes an earthen sluiceway, stone dam abutments, the stone foundation of an iron furnace and slag heaps. It is one of only two sites that can be associated with the King's Mountain Iron Company, which operated in present- day Cherokee County from about 1815 to about 1860. The other site is King's Creek Furnace Site in Cherokee County.

About 20,000 years ago the glaciers retreated to the northeast and glacial lakes formed. Drainage from the melting glacier and lakes cut a sluiceway, or channel, that diverted the headwaters of South Branch Bowman Creek into the Glen Leigh branch of Kitchen Creek. Glacial deposits of debris thick formed a dam blocking water from Ganoga Lake and what became Lake Jean from draining into Big Run, a tributary of Fishing Creek. The water was instead diverted into the Ganoga Glen branch of Kitchen Creek.

Sluicing is the process of taking a small amount of dirt or soil removed from the mine and sifting through it with a stream of running water known as a sluiceway. As the dirt is washed down the trough, the larger pieces of gems, minerals, and other stones are left in the sifter. Digging in permitted areas allows for visitors of the mine to dig into the earth to search for veins that may contain gemstones. The use of the creek is a major part of the mine.

The property also includes archaeological remnants of the waterworks that originally powered the plant, including a sluiceway and filled-in mill pond. The industrial history of the site begins in 1873, when Arthur Loop founded a company that produced cotton twine on the premises. Although business boomed after the railroad arrived in 1875, the company closed in 1883 with the death of one of its major backers. The site was taken over in 1892 and expanded by the Boston Finishing Works, which specialized in the finishing of unprocessed cotton cloth.

Keystone Canoeing, Seneca Press, 2004. Salt Lick Creek rises at the outlet of Page Lake at the village of Lakeside in New Milford Township and flows northwest to the borough of New Milford, then turns north and joins the Susquehanna at the borough of Hallstead. Interstate 81 and U.S. Route 11 follow the creek from New Milford to the Susquehanna River. This north-flowing section of Salt Lick Creek follows the "Summit Sluiceway", a gently-sloping 24-mile long channel formed by glacial erosion during the Pleistocene epoch.

It was where the low hills near the river stood well above the flood levels and a wide granite bar extended under the river bed and banks. The Principal Chief Engineer, L. A. B. Wade, decided that this was a good combination for the siting of a diversion weir to divert water down the main supply canal. The Diversion Weir comprised a weir proper with 55 collapsible Chanoine wooden wickets, a lock chamber capable of taking barges or steamers up to 100 ft. (30.48m) long, and a sluiceway.

A sluiceway was originally located on the west side of the dam, which was fed by a control gate in the western platform. This feature has largely been altered to provide for a fish ladder and small hydroelectric power generation plant. The dam was built in 1905, and was at least the third on the location, which had been used since the late 18th century as a power source for grist and lumber mills. It was built by the Mount Waldo Granite Works, and is presumed to have been built out of their granite, although no documentation has been found to confirm this.

Sluiceways controlled the channeling of water into a series of 17 beds to the west, which consist of shallow basins with about of sand set at the bottom on top of a tile bed. The water would filter through these beds by gravity. Further down the main channel another sluiceway channeled water into a larger holding bed, or into a second series of 10 "natural" beds, which fashioned out of already- extant gravel. When The Sudbury Reservoir was built in 1893-95, it was predominantly fed by the Sudbury River, but also received water from a number of smaller surrounding streams.

The Bodwell Water Power Company Plant stands at the eastern end of Milford Dam, although it is technically not a part of the dam; a log sluiceway and fish ladder separate the facilities. The dam and power plant are located at one of the major falls on that stretch of the river, and its largest single source of power. The plant is a monumental steel-framed structure faced in brick, measuring , and projecting over the river on a two- story concrete foundation. The base of foundation is an arcade of arches, with square windows above aligned with those of the structure resting on top.

The headwaters of South Branch Bowman Creek were very close to those for the Glen Leigh branch of Kitchen Creek, and the headwaters for Big Run were very close to those for the Ganoga Glen branch. As the glaciers retreated to the northeast about 20,000 years ago, glacial lakes formed. Drainage from the melting glacier and lakes cut a sluiceway, or channel, that diverted the headwaters of South Branch Bowman Creek into the Glen Leigh branch of Kitchen Creek. The retreating glaciers also left deposits of debris 20 to 30 feet (6.1 to 9.1 m) thick, which formed a dam blocking water from draining into Big Run.

The Tinley Moraine would be an earlier recession of the Michigan Lobe a short ways north, returning southward, with both wind and water driven drifts, mixed with the return of the ice front for a short duration before the northward retreat of the ice front, establishing the Lake Chicago sequence of shorelines and moraine features in northern Wisconsin and Michigan. The impounded meltwater trapped between the ice front and the Valparaiso Moraine, found a breach in the moraine east of the Illinois-Indiana boundary following West Creek into the sluiceway of the Kankakee River. An additional release may have been in the vicinity of the Deep River – Stoney Run divide east of Crown Point.

A wooden dam was constructed at the outlet in order to hold the water back until it was needed for the drive in the spring, although there was no guarantee that the sluice would actually work. In the spring of 1900, after years of backbreaking work, anxiety, and mounting debts, McKenney gave the order to open the gate at the dam, the first load of long logs were guided into the sluice, and down they sped. It was said that it only took the logs one and a quarter minutes to travel the length of the one and a quarter mile sluiceway. In reference to the previously popular opinion that such a sluice could not be successful, some would sarcastically remark at how many huge stacks of logs now waited in the surrounding woods to be sent down H.P.’s Folly.

The pond is the historic site of H.P. McKenney’s famous log sluice built in 1898. After several failed attempts at procuring financial assistance to help him with the project, it was apparent that no one believed his modern feat of engineering would work, so Henry Patrick McKenney took it upon himself to finance the job and he and his men spent the next two years constructing a wooden sluiceway down Enchanted Stream to run his logs from Enchanted to the Dead River, saving him a significant amount of mileage to the mill compared to his old route via the Moose River over to Moosehead Lake and down the Kennebec River. Logs were cut on site with four-inch-thick pine planks used for the flooring and three inch planks for the sides. Several trestles were built over deep gullies, ravines, and boulders, from ten feet high up to thirty feet high in places.

This new dam would provide an increase in the allowed head, allowing more water discharges into the Ibrahimiya Canal and will improve navigation conditions. The new dam will also include a low head hydropower plant providing about 40 Megawatts. The decision taken upon the results of the feasibility study was to proceed with the project of constructing a new barrage 200-300m downstream of the existing barrage. The proposed dam components are: #Sluiceway: 8 radial gates, 17m wide #Hydropower plant: 4 turbines x 8MW #Additional navigation lock: 120 x 17m chamber #Closure dam: embankment type, 11m high #Rehabilitation of the existing navigation lock; and #Rehabilitation of the existing Ibrahimiya head regulatorEgypt Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, Invitation for the Pre-qualification Process for the Consulting Services for Final Design and Construction Supervision of the New Assiut Barrage and Hydropower Plant Project There is a concern that the new maximum pool level will increase the groundwater levels in Assiut city and in some areas in the upstream.
