Explain the role of a head regulator in diversion head works.
Using gates or weirs, flow control measures how much water flows from a river or stream into an irrigation canal.
Control Water Levels: Preserves the canal's water at the right levels to provide regular irrigation.
Sediment Control in Channel : Contains elements that let silt to disperse before water enters the canal, avoiding blockages and damage.
Stops water from returning from the canal into the river or stream by preventing backflow.
Calculate the Amount of Water: Makes it easier to measure how much water is actually redirected into the canal.
Flood Control: Prevents flooding & infrastructure damage by controlling surplus water during high flood conditions.
