The gates are set between flanking piers which are responsible for supporting the water load. They are often used to control and stabilize water flow of rivers for irrigation systems. sukkar barrage made in 1932,then after 23 years kotri barrage was constucted in 1955 and then after 7 year gudu barage in 1962.
