A barrage is a type of low-head, diversion dam which consists of a number of large gates that can be opened or closed to control the amount of water passing through. This allows the structure to regulate and stabilize river water elevation upstream for use in irrigation and other systems.

A polynomial weir is a weir that has a geometry defined by a polynomial equation of any order n. [11] In practice, most weirs are low-order polynomial weirs. The standard rectangular weir is, for example, a polynomial weir of order zero. The triangular (V-notch) and trapezoidal weirs are of order one. High-order polynomial weirs are providing ...
The common primary functions of a barrage are: Increase the depth of a river (similar to a weir) Maintain a separation between fresh and salt water; Reduce the risk of tidal flooding up the river; Secondary functions may include: Tidal power generation; Artificial whitewater leisure centres; Form a Coastal reservoir
A barrage dam is a special kind of dam that consists of a line of large gates that can be opened or closed to control the amount of water passing the dam. The gates are set between flanking piers which are responsible for supporting the water load, and are often used to control and stabilize water flow for irrigation systems.

Diyala Weir, also known as the Diyala Barrage, is a diversion dam on the Diyala River 90 km northeast of Baghdad, Iraq.It was constructed between 1966 and 1969. The main purpose of the dam is to divert outflow of the Hemrin Dam (11 km upstream) on the Diyala River to the Khalis and Sadr Al-Mushtarak canals for irrigation.
It is composed of water storages, a channel distribution system, and a state government-developed irrigation area. Storages in this part of the scheme include Ben Anderson Barrage (30,300 megalitres (1,070 × 10 ^ 6 cu ft)) Walla Weir (29,500 megalitres (1,040 × 10 ^ 6 cu ft)) and Bingera Weir (4,800 megalitres (170 × 10 ^ 6 cu ft)).
