Chain Reaction

Click on image and "mouse around" to explore.

This is a weir.* The afternoon sun turned the water flowing past the weir's watergate chain into a pretty sight--a "chain reaction," Via the chain, the watergate can be adjusted to direct the waters of a large brook into a lower one (as shown) or an upper one (not shown). Usually it is set to direct some water into both.
