Ep.34 Designing fish-safe hydropower

from Dam! Hosted by Northwest RiverPartners

Fish passage is a serious matter for hydropower–especially for our Federal hydro system in the Columbia River basin. Like the dams themselves, maintaining and updating fish passage infrastructure is essential to achieving the best possible results for our aquatic friends. One of the leaders in this field is Natel, who designs fish-safe turbines to replace aging turbines and eliminate the need for bypass systems for juvenile salmon. Joining us on this episode to detail this win-win in design is Natel's co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer, Gia Schneider.
