The main function of a divide wall is to

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
The main function of a divide wall is to separate the undersluices from the weir proper and provide a smooth flow of water by guiding it efficiently.

It helps in:

- Preventing crosscurrents and turbulence that may interfere with the proper functioning of the undersluices.

- Controlling sedimentation by ensuring that silt-laden water flows towards the undersluices for easy disposal.

- Protecting the structural integrity of the weir by minimizing the impact of high-velocity flows.
