Anadromous Fish Impacts at Proposed Hydroelectric Plants

by Peter W. Spear, Natural Resources Consulting, Services, Concord, NH, USA,
Richard A. Currier, Natural Resources Consulting, Services, Concord, NH, USA,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Coastal Zone '85

Abstract:

This paper describes a series of field techniques successfully used by the authors to determine a minimum flow downstream of hydroelectric plants. The minimum flow of water required for anadromous fish species is determined by use of a system of transects across the river bed. These techniques are most appropriate for facilities where project outflow can be regulated.
