The new sluice gate
At first we inserted plywood boards to reduce water flow.
Removed side posts (grooved for sluice gate boards), which were cemented into channels cut in stonework. Make new boards and design and manufacture new sluice valve with steel blade and slides and screw control. Install new sluice mechanism. Replace rotting bridging boards with more stable arrangement.
