sluiceway

When it is time to harvest Superior Fresh’s salmon, workers in waterproof clothing use a long-handled net to carefully lift the fish onto a portable sluiceway.

The breakwater was constructed with four sluiceways, or portholelike tunnels, which allowed for greater circulation of ocean water.

She wishes she’d closed the “sluiceway” on the “current” of her memories.

In minutes I hear the water gushing down the sluiceway, bubbling and chortling along until it spills out the end and strikes the paddles of the wheel just forward of its highest point.

The dam being removed was built to direct water to a man-made sluiceway.
