Diversion Head Works : It was stated earlier that the main permanent canal, forming the primary part of a direct irrigation scheme, takes off from a diversion weir or a barrage. In fact, these rmanent canals take off from rivers and the arrangements are so well made at their - heads, that a constant and a continuous water supply is ensured into-the canal, even during the periods of low flow. The works, which are constructed at the head of the canal, in order to divert the river water towards the canal, so as to ensure a regulated continuous supply of silt-free water with a certain minimum head into the canal, are known as Diversion Head Works. 9.1. Weir and Barrage ot, In general, the above purpose can be accomplished by constructing a barrier across the river, so as to raise the water level on the upstream side of the obstruction, and thus, to feed the main canals taking off from its upstream side at one or both of its flanks. The ponding of water can be achieved either only by a permanent pucca raised crest geross the river or by a raised crest supplemented by falling counter-balanced gates or shutters, working over the crest. If the major part or the entire ponding of water is achieved by a raised crest and a smaller part or nil part of it is achieved by the shutters, then this barrier is known as a weir [Fig. 9.1 (a) and (b)j, On the other hand, if most of the ponding is done by gates and a smaller or nil part of it is done by the raised crest, then the barrier is known as a Barrage or a River Regulator [See Fig. 9.2 (a) and (b)].
