Best Answer

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.
