What is a rectangular weir?
A weir is a form of obstruction installed across a river to modify its flow dynamics. It's often utilized for flood control, gauging water outflow, and ensuring rivers are suitable for navigation.

A rectangular weir is one of the simplest designs, essentially a flat barrier with a rectangular notch cut out from the top where water can flow over.

Other most commonly used types of weirs include v-notch and triangular weirs.
