fall structure with a fixed chamber in which the water level changes
A lock is a structure built into waterways that uses a chamber to raise or lower boats between different water levels. By filling or draining the chamber, it allows vessels to move safely through areas where the water level differs, making water transportation possible across regions with natural elevation changes.
