Answer:

The answer is a weir, it is used for measuring the rate of flow of water in rivers or streams.

Explanation:

Weirs, also known as low head dams, are of many designs but the most common is that in which water flows above the weir crest top before cascading down to a lower level. It is used by engineers and hydrologists to measure the volumetric flow rate of water in rivers and streams.

It alters the water flow after being used as a barrier across the river width and increases river level height.

The formula to measure volumetric flow rate is;

Q = CLHⁿ

Where Q is the volumetric flow rate, L is the crest width, C is the flow coefficient, H is the head of water height over the crest, and the value of n varies with the structure of the weir.
