@armchairengineer: Standing within the dewatered fish ladder at Lower Granite Dam, I give a brief description of how they work. Getting the proper flow of water helps the fish know where to go without wearing them out, plus they have plenty of opportunities to rest as they make their way upstream. #fish #fishpassage #fishladder #lowergranitedam

Very cool technology, sadly the energy that fish need to use to get up causes some serious issues in their lifespan.

Why aren’t there more proposals or designs to naturalize these existing or new ladders? Could we be over-engineering a simple design solution?

Why are the slots lined up? Does the fluid dynamics from the pools affect that tunnel of stream enough?

We have an elevator at my dam. it's a pain to operate but pretty neat when it actually works we haven't ran it in a few years because of the snakeheads

what you don't do is touch the fish because you will damage there slime cloat you let them power through and give them a little boost moral support them saying you can do it keep going you got it
