Introduction :

BARRAGE
• Barrage is a type of hydraulic
structure.
• It is used for water
management, flood control, and
irrigation purposes.
• It is designed to regulate the
flow of water in rivers and
canals.

 Geographical Feature Of Barrage:
• 1. Location
• 2. River width and depth
• 3. Catchment area
• 4. Topography
• 5. Climate
• 6. Downstream impacts

Component Of Barrage:

1. Main Structure: It is constructed across the river to impound water and regulate it. It is usually
made of concrete, masonry, or earthen materials.
2. Gates: Gates help regulate the water level upstream and downstream of the barrage.
3. Spillway: It release excess water during floods or high flows.
4. Fish Pass: Fish passes or fish ladders are built to allow fish to migrate upstream and downstream
of the barrage.
5. Navigation Locks: Navigation locks to allow boats and ships to pass through the barrage without
hindrance.
6. Control Room: Barrages are often equipped with a control room where operators monitor and
manage the flow of water, operate gates, and ensure the safe functioning of the barrage.
7. Reservoir: Barrages create a reservoir behind them, which can store water for irrigation, drinking
water supply, or hydroelectric power generation.

Benefits of Barrage:

• 1. Flood Control: Barrages help to regulate the flow of water, reducing the risk
of flooding downstream.
• 2. Irrigation: Barrages store water in reservoirs, which can be used for irrigation
purposes, especially during dry seasons.
• 3. Hydropower Generation: Barrages can be equipped with turbines to generate
electricity from the stored water.
• 4. Navigation: Barrages can improve navigation by maintaining a consistent
water level in rivers and canals.

Disadavantage Of Barrage

• Barrage can disrupt the natural flow of rivers and impact the local ecosystem.
• By impeding the flow of water, barrages can alter the habitat of aquatic species,
block fish migration routes, and lead to sedimentation and erosion in the river.
• Barrages can also affect water quality by trapping pollutants and increasing the
risk of flooding in downstream areas.

Failure Of Barrage
• Seepage & Leekage
• Overloading
• Natural Disasters
• Structural Deficiencies
• Poor Maintenance
