Description: |
This book offers a comprehensive review of
current systems for fish protection and
downstream migration. It offers the first
systematic description of the currently
available technologies for fish protection
at hydropower intakes, including accurate
and timely data collected by the authors
and other researchers. It describes how to
design and test them in agreement with the
guidelines established from the EU Water
Framework Directive. The book includes
important information about fish biology,
with a special focus on swimming and
migration mechanisms. It offers a robust
bridge between concepts in applied ecology
and civil hydraulic engineering, thus
providing biologists and hydraulic
engineers with an authoritative reference
guide to both the theory and practice of
fish protection. It is also of interest
for planners, public authorities as well
as environmental consultants
