Barrage is a structure similar to weir with the only difference that the crest is kept at a low level and ponding of water is accomplished mainly by means of gates. During floods these gates can be raised above HFL and thus enable the high flood to pass with minimum afflux.
Regulator are located just u/s of a barrage in order to regulate the discharge flowing into off-taking channel and to control the entry of sediment in the channel.
