Usage Note
Chiusa refers to a lock or sluice gate on a canal or river that controls water flow, as well as the concluding section of a piece of music or a rhetorical passage. Do not confuse with the adjective chiusa (closed, feminine of chiuso) — context usually disambiguates. In music, la chiusa is the closing cadence or coda.
Examples

The sluice regulates the water level in the canal.
Literal Translation
The sluice regulates the level of-the-water in-the canal.
