What are the various types of diversion structures commonly used in irrigation?
Typical irrigation diversion structure types include:
Weirs: Low obstacles, such as broad- and sharp-crested weirs, which measure & divert flow.
Diversion Dams: Bigger constructions that elevate water levels considerably for large diversion, such as embankment & gravity dams.
Check dams are small: makeshift obstacles placed across streams to slow down flow and collect silt, which helps replenish groundwater.
Canal Headworks: To manage & regulate water flow, head regulators & sluice gates are installed at canal intakes.
Barrages: Huge, gated constructions used to redirect and regulate water flow in rivers with different conditions in different direction.
