Shutters

metal, reinforced-concrete, or wooden beams arranged in sets and designed to close off the opening of a water passage in a hydraulic engineering installation. Beams placed horizontally one on top of the other form a wall, which serves as the movable part of the gate that is usually used during construction or repair of an installation. Shutters may also be used as permanent gates in irrigation, flooding, and drainage systems.
