A tidal barrage is a dam or a weir built across the inlet to a bay or river mouth. There are gates, or sluices, that open to let water in as the tide rises, and out after it falls. This moving water spins turbines to generate electricity.
Tidal barrages can generate predictable and reliable electricity by harnessing the kinetic energy of tides. They have a long operational life of up to 100 years and produce no greenhouse gas emissions during electricity generation. Tidal barrages also offer potential for flood protection and navigation improvements.

The plural is barrages.
Barrages are structures built across rivers to divert water for irrigation, flood control, or power generation. They create reservoirs that can store and regulate water flow, ensuring a reliable water supply for agriculture and other uses. Barrages can also help prevent flooding by managing water levels during periods of high flow.
The exact number of barrages worldwide is difficult to determine, as new projects are continually being constructed and some may not be officially documented. However, there are thousands of barrages globally, primarily used for irrigation, flood control, and water management. Notable examples include the Farakka Barrage in India, the Sukkur Barrage in Pakistan, and the Sardar Sarovar Dam in India. Each country may have its own distinct number of barrages based on its water management needs.
