Weir vs Barrage: Key Differences Explained by satish kolluru is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A weir is a solid obstruction constructed across a river to raise the water level and divert it into canals. It can also store surplus flood water for use during dry months. A barrage is similar to a weir but uses gates to control water levels, allowing flood waters to pass through when lifted while storing water when shut down. This provides better control over river water levels than a weir, but barrages are more expensive to construct.
