What does WEIR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A low dam built across a river or stream to raise the water level or control its flow.
A weir lets water spill over its top rather than blocking the river completely, so it can raise the level upstream, measure flow, or divert water into a mill or channel while still letting the river keep running. Many towns built on rivers still have a weir visible near an old mill or bridge.
