Money will still pour through the system, but by a very different set of sluiceways. ❋ Unknown (2006)
If the level on one side of the dam is too high, then something must be done to prevent the dam from bursting: If you don't want to eliminate the dam itself, the unequal pressure from both sides forces certain decisions: sluiceways might lower the pressure for the time being; shoring up the infrastructure might keep the water at bay for now. ❋ Unknown (2006)

The proceeds from the sale of public lands were dedicated to the construction of storage dams and sluiceways to hold water and divert it as needed to the thirsty sands. ❋ Mary Ritter Beard (1917)
It cascaded down through various large boulders and sluiceways to fall bubbling and boiling into deep water; it then flowed still and sluggish for nearly a half mile and finally divided into channels around a number of wooded islands of different sizes. ❋ Stewart Edward White (1909)
In almost unbroken series the logs shot through the sluiceways into the river below, where they were received by the jam crew and started on the next stage of their long journey to the mills. ❋ Stewart Edward White (1909)
Arriving off the Taya Islands, the float had been submerged by opening the sluiceways and filling the tanks with water. ❋ Unknown (1909)

Meantime the four painters were to collect material for the decoration of the coffee-room -- wreaths of greens over the mantel and festoons of ivy hanging down the back of Joplin's chair being prominent features; while Mynheer, Tine and Johann were to concentrate their energies in preparing a dinner the like of which had never been eaten since the sluiceways in the dikes drowned out the Spanish duke. ❋ Francis Hopkinson Smith (1876)
Uncle Isaac with his shoulder under the spokes of the wheels, the struggling crew keeping the cart close to the edge of the dune, springing out of the way of the boiling surf or sinking up to their waists into crevices of sluiceways gullied out by the hungry sea. ❋ Francis Hopkinson Smith (1876)
Water is carried along the banks from the river, and distributed by numerous sluiceways below; and above, the little mountain streams are brought where they are needed by artificial channels. ❋ Charles Dudley Warner (1864)
