Bulgarian term or phrase: савак
Преграда, която служи за ограничаване или напълно спиране на притока на вода през отвор, канал, тръба. Широко се употребява в мелиорацията и управление на водите. Най-общо представлява плоскост която се спуска и вдига чрез приплъзване в улеи. По този начин се отваря, ограничава или затваря отвор с правоъгълна форма, през който може да премине водата. (Oт Уикипедия) Само не го намирам на английски.

irrigation canal (water) lock; ~ gate


Explanation:
ІМНО - по-точно е irrigation canal (water) lock, ~ gate. Sluicegate е във хидротехн. съоръжения (плават. канали, шлюзове). Вж.: препратките; на втората е без саваци - позната картинка ;-)
