A dam creates a deep reservoir of water that can be stored and used at a later date. These uses can include irrigation, water supply or even electricity generation. A dam is usually an impressive feat of construction, as its sheer height is what keeps the water from moving up and over it. Unlike a barrage, a dam is built for the sole purpose of storing water and to raise the level of water contained within it.

Эх сурвалж: MNS 6694:2017A barrage is a type of dam; however, instead of being a massive concrete wall that the water can’t flow over, the barrage is full of gates.
SourceA barrage is constructed when water doesn’t need to be stored but rather diverted. For this reason, the barrage is usually built across a flat and relatively slow-moving river. Unlike a dam, which will raise waters nearly to its height, a barrage will only raise the water level by a few feet. This is also useful for navigation, because a barrage can increase the depth of a river by a few feet.
