Modular Innovations in Upstream Fish Passage

摘要

This project examined design alternatives for the construction, equipping and operation of upstream fish passage facilities suitable for installation at small hydropower sites being developed or re-developed. These alternatives were examined for technical feasibility and economic viability with the object of providing alternative means of meeting the biological requirements of an upstream fish passage in a more cost-effective manner than strictly traditional methods. An overview is presented of the fish passage design process in a project formation flowchart and design data checklist. The design features, materials and equipment specifically considered in this study are described with information on the characteristics, advantages, and applicability of each item.
