The water surface of a river that was raised will be abundant through the peak/mercu Weirs (overflow). Can be used as measuring the speed of the water flow in the channel/stream and can also as a driving force of traditional milling in European countries. In countries with a fairly large river and its Rapids, a series of Weir's can operated form a water transport system. In Indonesia, Weirs can be used for irrigation when for example the face of river water is lower than the face of the land will be irrigated. [Source]
