Some information about Pulgaon Barrage Project.
Barrage is a type of Dam which consists of a line of large gates that can be opened or closed to control the amount of water passing the dam.
A key difference between a barrage and a dam is that a dam is built for storing water in a Reservoir, which raises the level of water significantly. A barrage is built for diverting water, and is generally built on flat terrain across wide meandering rivers, raising the water level only a few feet.
When this blog was written, the source website of WRIS did not have any information on this barrage.
Following information added during the edit to add lost maps on 31 August 2020.
Bhumi pujan and ground breaking ceremony was performed twice once in September 2009 and second time on 9 Mat 2010 The work was expected to be completed by 2012. Could not find confirmation about its completion on the date 31 August 2020 when this edit was carried out.
Total capacity if the barrage is 10.80 cubic meters. Useful stock is 9.84 cubic meters. As aresult water will be supplied to 13 villages in the city and its environs including including ammunition depot, which will create an irrigation capacity of 3236 hectares.
The barrage will be 225 meters long, 14.17 meters high and 6.50 meters wide. Water will be stored. There will be 15 doors to release water.

Some information about Madan Pick Up Weir
Madan Pick Up Wier is not visible/seen in google satellite map.was constructed as part of Madan Tank Project,Project code number: JI00549. Madan Pick Up Wier is 3488 m long and 12.64 m high Pick-up weir with 157.80 m long central ogee-type spillway 12 km distance of the main dam near Wadgaon village in Seloo Taluka. The central spillway is designed to pass maximum flood of 1036.40 cubic meters per second.
A weir is a barrier across a river designed to alter its flow characteristics. In most cases, weirs take the form of obstructions smaller than most conventional dams, which cause water to pool behind them, while allowing water to flow steadily over their tops. Weirs are commonly used to alter the flow of rivers to prevent flooding, measure discharge, and help render rivers navigable.

Some information about Dham Pick Up Weir.
This is Dham Pick-up Weir. Part of Dham River Project , Project code is JI00442.
Other technical Details are not available.
Weir is a barrier across a river designed to alter the flow characteristics. In most cases, weirs take the form of a barrier, smaller than most conventional dams, across a river that causes water to pool behind the structure (not unlike a dam) and allows water to flow over the top. Weirs are commonly used to alter the flow regime of the river, prevent flooding, measure discharge and help render a river navigable. A wier is built some distance downriver from the dam. However in this case Dham pickup wier is almost 15 - 20 K downstream.
