Cross regulator:
A cross regulator is a canal regulation structure used to control and regulate the flow of water in a canal system. It is specifically designed to close the supply to the downstream portion of the parent canal, which is crucial during repair and maintenance activities. By closing the cross regulator, the flow of water can be halted, allowing for safe and effective repairs to be carried out downstream without the interference of water flow.
Other Options:
- Stream regulator: This term is not commonly used in the context of canal regulation structures and does not fit the description provided.
- Distributary regulator: This structure is used to control the flow of water from a main canal into a distributary canal, not for closing the parent canal for repairs.
- Head regulator: This structure is located at the head of a canal or a distributary and regulates the flow of water into the canal system. It is not typically used for closing the downstream supply during repairs.
