Baffle blocks explained

Baffle blocks are concrete structures with different shapes, for example trapezoidal,[1] used in flowing water to reduce its force. They are arranged in several rows in stilling basins. They are used in spillways and dams, in irrigation systems,[2] to protect fishes in rivers with hydrotechnical installations,[3] to improve sediment deposition, as a solution to scouring in hydraulic projects[4] and in flood control.
