Fish Passage and Screening Design
This online engineering PDH course provides engineers with essential guidelines for designing effective fish passage systems and screening structures.
Designing efficient and environmentally friendly screening structures help to promote fish migration by providing safe passage through water infrastructure projects, while preventing fish entrainment. It is important to consider the specific needs and behaviors of target fish species when designing fish passage structures. In addition, other aspects, such as hydraulic considerations, must be included in the design criteria.
This 7 PDH online course is applicable to civil, hydraulic, and environmental engineers, as well as other professional disciplines involved in the design and development of fish passages and screens that promote fish migration and protect aquatic ecosystems.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the importance of fish passage and the need for effective screening in water infrastructure projects
- Knowing the behavior and migration patterns of target fish species to inform design considerations
- Identifying the key hydraulic factors influencing fish passage and screening design
- Learning about the regulatory requirements and guidelines
- Learning how to select appropriate fish passage and screening design options based on project-specific conditions and constraints
- Familiarizing with hydraulic modeling and analysis for optimizing designs and assessing their effectiveness
- Understanding the potential impacts of poorly designed or ineffective fish passage and screening structures on fish populations and aquatic ecosystems
