How many barrages in world?

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.
