Weir (Weir) is a low head dam structure (lowhead dams), which serves to raise the water level, usually in a river. The surface water of the river will be raised through the peak melimpas / crow weir (overflow).
Can be used as a measure of water flow velocity in the channel / river and can be used as the motion in pengilingan traditional European countries. In countries with large rivers and heavy flow, a series of dam can be operated to form a water transport system. In Indonesia, the dam can be used for irrigation when the river water level such as lower than the face of the land that would have waterly.
