Recovery of Revenues Lost to Fish Passage
Alan E. Belcher1
Introduces a
fundamentally new type of hydraulic engine/pump set which forms the core of a
system to recover energy usually expended in fish passage. An historical
background is presented. Equations are developed from those describing two
types of manometer. Principles of operation and salient features are explained.
