    A weir and barrage are compared as canal head works. A weir is cheaper to construct but has a higher crest level and provides more afflux. It does not effectively control the entire river flow and causes more upstream silting. In contrast, a barrage is more costly but has a lower crest level, provides less afflux and upstream silting. It allows for a bridge and gates that are more convenient to operate than a weir's crest shutter.
