About Weir

These barriers are crucial for managing water flow for various purposes, including industrial discharge and drainage control. However, they can pose significant dangers to boaters, having been involved in numerous accidents, which has led to the nickname "drowning machines." This aspect is essential for anyone considering planning applications in the area, particularly those related to water management and safety.
