Tutorials/Water gate

A floodgate is used to stop a flow of water. Floodgates are adjustable gates used to control water flow in flood barriers, reservoir, river, stream, or levee systems. They may be designed to set spillway crest heights in dams, to adjust flow rates in sluices and canals, or they may be designed to stop water flow entirely as part of a levee or storm surge system. Since most of these devices operate by controlling the water surface elevation being stored or routed, they are also known as crest gates. In the case of flood bypass systems, floodgates sometimes are also used to lower the water levels in a main river or canal channels by allowing more water to flow into a flood bypass or detention basin when the main river or canal is approaching a flood stage. There are a few tips for using a floodgate. To make one, you will need pistons and redstone wiring (not in the water of course). There are videos on the Internet about people who have made these, but they might not be possible without mods.

There are a few things you can do with a floodgate. One of the most useful ways to use a floodgate is to harvest crops by channeling the flow of water over your mature crop and it will automatically pick your crops for you. By channeling the water you can also designate a pickup area for the already harvested crops. More uses for floodgates are mob traps, the all known watervator, a safe passage up and down a cliff side.
