A Parametric Approach for Determining Fishway Attraction Flow at Hydropower Dams

A Parametric Approach for Determining Fishway Attraction Flow at Hydropower Dams

High discharges at hydropower plants (HPP) may mask fishway attraction flows and, thereby, prevent fishes from locating and using fishways critical for their access to upstream spawning and rearing habitats. Existing methods for determining attraction flows are either based on simple guidelines (e.g...
