A Historical Perspective on Downstream Passage at Hydroelectric Plants in Swedish Rivers

Olle Calles, Peter Rivinoja, LARRY A. GREENBERG

Open publisher page 29 citations

Abstract

This chapter provides a brief historical review of downstream bypass problems in Sweden. This is followed by a description of the Swedish situation today, with a focus on several case studies that have evaluated rehabilitating downstream bypass efficiency at hydroelectric plants in rivers of different sizes and for several different species. Finally, the chapter discusses the needs and potential directions for future studies.
