Headworks hydraulic design is centered on:

Flow control: It is involves precisely managing and measuring water flow through the design of structures such as sluice gates and weirs.

Energy dissipation: lowering high-energy water flow by the use of features like stilling basins to stop erosion & damage.

Sediment management :involves the use of basins or sediment traps to collect and handle sediment while preserving system performance and avoiding obstructions.

Maintaining structural integrity: It means making sure that parts are resistant to external factors like floods and hydraulic forces.

Head Loss Reduction: Reducing energy losses due to turbulence and friction by strategically designing hydraulic parts and channels.

The headworks system operates in an effective, secure, and long-lasting manner thanks to these principles.
