P. A weir is a hydraulic structure where majority or the entire ponding is achieved by a raised crest and smaller part or nil part by the shutters. Q. A weir is a hydraulic structure that is made by constructing the width of the channel only. R. A barrage is a hydraulic structure that is made by creating a choking condition only. S. A barrage is a hydraulic structure where majority or the entire ponding is achieved by a shutter and smaller part or nil part by the raised crest. Identify the correct statements in the above.

Correct Answer P and S
Concept:
Weir:
- If the major part of the entire ponding of water is achieved by the raised crest and a smaller part or nil part of it is achieved by the shutters, then this barrier is known as a weir.
Barrage:
- 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 know as a barrage.
- It is a structure similar to a weir with the only difference being that the crest is kept at a low level and ponding of water is accomplished mainly by means of gates. During floods these gates can be raised above HFL and thus enable the high flood to pass with minimum afflux.
