Clues I arranged for Watergate! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sluice

'watergate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'clues i arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates an anagram (letters rearranged).
'clues'+'i'='cluesi'
'cluesi' anagrammed gives 'SLUICE'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for sluice that I've seen before include "Sliding gate to control water in stream" , "Water flow control gate" , "Water-controlling gate" , "Floodgate" , "Drench copiously" .)
