Fish passage and small hydroelectric technology: a state of the art review
Conference
·
OSTI ID:5746930
One of the most frequently raised environmental issues that may affect the development of small hydroelectric technology is the possible requirement of fish passage facilities at existing dams. The need for these facilities may be a significant factor in determining the economic feasibility of small hydro projects. Some preliminary results of an ongoing study reviewing fish passage technology relating to small hydro development are described. Types of structures available to move upstream migrating fish around dams, and downstream passage facilities are discussed. Some basic design considerations for successful operation of upstream passage facilities and basic cost figures are presented.
