Abstract
Fish have an inherent knack of swimming through most difficult of rivers, but it is a different story when it comes to navigating through dams. Although dams have structures and mechanisms to help fish find safe routes, they often prove ineffective. Hydropower dams generally have three routes of water passage—to powerhouse turbines, a spillway and a bypass constructed for fish. The first two routes are dangerous for fish and hence it is necessary to understand their behaviour at the point of route selection.
