For the purposes of power generation, flood control, navigation, irrigation, water supply, etc., dams are constructed to collect water head by raising the upstream water level. However, the construction of dams cuts off the natural river streams. Structures allow for the safe and quick pass of vessel, fish, and log, between the up- and downstream, have to be built up in order to overcome the concentrated head and keep the whole river navigable.
