What are Weirs & Barrages?
Weirs and Barrages are hydraulic structures constructed across rivers and canals to regulate, control and divert water flow. These structures play a vital role in irrigation, water conservation, flood management and river regulation projects.
A Weir is generally a fixed overflow structure used to raise water levels, whereas a Barrage is a gated structure that allows controlled regulation of water levels and discharge through adjustable gates.

Functions & Benefits
Weirs and Barrages help maintain upstream water levels, divert water into irrigation canals, recharge groundwater and improve water availability throughout the year. They also assist in flood management by regulating river discharge during high flow conditions.
These structures are essential components of modern water resource management systems.
