[en] The aim of the WG (Working Group) was to conduct a comprehensive review (state-of-the-art) of the modern technologies, design tools and recent research used to design and build structures controlling water level and flow in rivers, waterways and ports (for navigation & flood protection).
The WG considered regulatory structures such as:
- Gates controlling water level and flow in rivers (even non navigable) and waterways (lifting gate, tilting gate, radial gate, sector, etc.; designed in one piece or with an upper flap). These are referred to as WEIRS.
- Gates controlling water level and flow in estuaries with regards to high tides and storms (lifting gate, articulated, tilting, rolling, floating, sliding, etc.). These structures are referred to as BARRIERS.
