Abstract
WATER CONTROL SYSTEM wins special prize Ground erosion is but one aspect of the damage caused to the environment. In addition to this is the economic impact caused when people in the vicinity must go without water to drink, or water to irrigate their crops, ” says Carlo. He explains that irrigation farmers that use sluice systems frequently allow the water to flow late into the night which means that they then have to shut-off the water source late at night so that the irrigation dams do not break. The person responsible for the flow of the water can easily forget to turn off the water, which can result in damage to, or even breaking of the dam wall.
