What is the difference between headworks and barrage?
The head works are built on river or water course between two banks at the same level of river to control water, distribute it through canals for irrigation or other purpose of supplying water. Barrage is made in similar way but main difference is that barrage is designed in such a way so that it could increase the water level and serve as a storage. Electricity can be produced at a barrage after construction of hydro power plants but could not be at a head works.

What is the similarties between a dam and a levee?
From what I infer from conversations between myself and some engineers in the local area, a dam and a levee both holds water to a confined space but, a dam is man-made while a levee is made of natural stuff. However, that is the extent of what i know in that.

A dam is considered to be a more sophisticaled barrier than a barrage. A dam is a barrier of concrete built accross a river to create a body of water for a hydroelectric power station or a reservoir of water and is of greater capacity than a barrage. A barrage is an obstruction in a watercourse to increase the depth of water to facilitate irrigation
What dams are constructed on river indus?

What is the Difference between the barrage and dams?
Both the dam and barrage are barriers constructed across a river or natural water course for diverting water into a canal mainly for purposes of irrigation, water supply etc. or into a channel or a tunnel for generation of power. In case of a barrage, its entire length across the river i.e. between the banks is provided with gates having their bottom sill near the river bed level. Thus, the storage behind the barrage is solely created by the height of the gates. The dam on the other hand has spillway gates almost near its top level and the storage behind the dam is mainly due to the height of concrete structure and partially due to the gate height. In both the cases, however, the number and size of gates is adequate to pass the design flood during monsoons.
What are the difference between dam and retaining wall?
The only difference between them is that, a masonry dam retains the water behind it, while the retaining wall retains the earth materials at its back. The distribution of pressure along its height is also same to the masonry dam.
