Fish safety - Method for the determination of the fish safety of pumps, Archimedean screws and confined water turbines used in pumping stations and hydroelectric plants
Abstract
This document describes the following methods: - a method for carrying out laboratory and field tests to determine the fish safety of pumps, Archimedean screws and confined water turbines used in pumping stations or hydroelectric plants; - a calculation method for predicting the survival rate of fish passing through pumps, Archimedean screws or confined water turbines; - a calculation method for scaling the results of a fish safety test to a pump or turbine of the same type but with a different dimension and operating under different conditions. The fish safety test and the calculation method can also be used for open water turbines with the reservations described in Annex C. In addition, in Annex D this standard describes aspects of pumps, Archimedean screws, water turbines, pumping stations and hydroelectric plants that affect the fish safety of these installations.
