Weirs are effectively small dams in the water, and allow water to flow from a water body with a higher water level to a lower water level. Any water exceeding the height of the weir can flow over it, increasing the throughput as the water level increases. Strictly, water can flow over the weir in either direction.
A weir is a line-based construction.

Notes
- If a weir is placed in a waterway, and the waterway is not otherwise interrupted, water will be able to flow past the weir via the waterway itself. It is recommended to make sure that the waterway is obstructed by an increase in the terrain height in such a way that the only way water can flow from the one end of the weir to the other is via the weir.
