Penstock or commonly known as Sluice Gate is an intake structure that control the water flow and designed to be sturdy as the high pressurize water flow are passes through it. The term of Penstock is inherited from the earlier technology used in watermills. The amount of water that is allowed to flow through the penstock can be controlled with a sluice, which is simply a gate that can be raised and lowered to increase or decrease the amount of water allowed to flow through. When the sluice is fully open, water flows freely down through the penstock. However, when it is closed slightly there is a limitation to how much water can flow, and thus less water enters the penstock. It is important to be able to control the amount of water that can enter the penstock for a number of reasons, mainly because it allows people to regulate the amount of water that exits the penstocks at the other end. During dry seasons, penstocks are generally allowed to be wide open to allow water through, while they are closed partially during wet seasons to prevent flooding.

In Malaysia, Penstock are widely used in variety of water and waste water work application as water as water and sewage treatment project and flood control projects.
