A sluice is a channel or trough designed to allow water to flow in a controlled manner, often used for extracting minerals like gold. As water runs through the sluice, lighter materials are carried downstream while heavier materials like gold settle to the bottom due to gravity and riffles in the sluice bed. Miners can then collect the concentrated material for further processing.
