This guide is the result of CIRIA Research Project (RP1009). The work
was produced under contract to CIRIA by JBA Consulting, Mott MacDonald
and FAS Heritage with the River Restoration Centre appointed as a
special advisor. It replaces the EA guide River weirs – good practice
guide (Richard et al, 2003). The new guide provides good practice guidance
on the design, maintenance, modification and removal of river weirs,
including weirs on canalised rivers, canal by-weirs and side weirs, and
river barrages. It does not cover dams, reservoir spillways, estuarine
barrages or structures regulating natural lakes.
The guide is aimed at a broad readership given the wide range of
stakeholders involved in the operation of weirs and the use of rivers; its structure reflects this. Readers will come to the
guide with different perspectives, depending on the drivers for change
and the questions they are trying to answer (see below). The guide aims
to direct readers towards the information that they are looking for,
and to alert them to other issues that they may not be aware of.
