Abstract

The overarching goal of the proposed research was to evaluate the hydraulic performance of twenty two (22) fish-passage structures located in close proximity to bridges in western Iowa and within the HCA (Hungry Canyon Alliance) territory. Such structures include riprap weirs, fish ladders and grouted ripraps. The hydraulic performance of the aforementioned structures was evaluated via detailed field tests for a range of flow conditions relevant to fish migration through bridge waterways in different streams in western Iowa.
