Project 2007-535-00 - Physical and Biological Testing of a Flow Velocity Enhancement System (FVES)

General

Project Number:

2007-535-00

Title:

Physical and Biological Testing of a Flow Velocity Enhancement System (FVES)

Summary:

Natural Solution’s patented FVES provides migration cues using mechanically generated turbulent-flow fields. Field testing will evaluate effectiveness of induced flow for enhancing & guiding smolt migration, important for developing efficient bypasses.

Knowledge of fish response to mechanically generated flows will be used to enhance guidance efficiency at hydroelectric and irrigation dams regionally, nationally and internationally. Results will be disseminated through reports, open-literature publications, and direct contacts with potential users.
