Abstract:

This publication presents the results of a study on available technical information on the characteristics of water intake structures designed to eliminate or reduce damage to fish. Biological criteria and the reliability of hardware are assessed. Engineering factors influencing intake design are covered. Considerable attention is given to practical fish protection methods, including fish diversion methods, fish deterrence, passive physical exclusion methods, and design of traveling screens. Fine screening methods for small organisms are also discussed, including collection and removal methods and passive physical exclusion methods. The design of bypass, pipeline, and pump fish return systems are also covered. Many of the systems discussed in the book are illustrated. This publication has been prepared as an aid to the practicing engineer and current acceptable procedures using proven hardware are stressed.
