File Jobra Barrage 2.jpg thumb right Jobra Barrage in Cuttack A wikt barragebarrage is a type of dam which 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. They are often used to control and stabilize water flow of rivers for irrigation systems. According to the World Commission on Dams , a key difference between a barrage and a dam is that a dam is built for storing water in a reservoir , which raises the level of water significantly. A barrage is built for diverting water, and is generally built on flat terrain across wide meander ing rivers, raising the water level only a few feet. ref name SalmanUprety2002 cite book last1 Salman first1 Salman M.
