Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFTemporary spurs or bunds are temporary structures constructed every year after floods. A bund is a structure made to project flow from a riverbank into a stream or river with the aim of deflecting the flow away from the side of the river on which the groyne is built.
Important Points:
Bunds are temporary in nature whereas Weirs and barrages are permanent in nature.
In a weir, the water overflows the weir, but in a dam, the water overflows through a special place called a spillway. Weirs have traditionally been used to create mill ponds.
A barrage is a weir that has adjustable gates installed over top of it, to allow different water surface heights at different times.Last updated on May 28, 2025
