A "weir" is a small barrier built across a river or creek to manage water flow. Weirs can serve various purposes, including: 1. **Water Level Control**: They help maintain a certain water level upstream, which can be important for irrigation, water supply, or maintaining aquatic habitats. 2. **Hydroelectric Power**: Some weirs can be integrated into hydroelectric systems to generate electricity.
