barrage design

Barrage design refers to the engineering process of creating structures, like dams or barriers, that control the flow of water in rivers or lakes. These structures help regulate water levels for irrigation, flood control, and hydroelectric power generation. A barrage typically has gates that can be opened or closed to manage water flow and maintain a specific water level upstream. Unlike traditional dams that hold back water completely, barrages allow for some water to flow through while still providing benefits like enhanced navigation and water storage for agricultural needs.
