The Japanese media company Techblitz spoke with Gia Schneider about the potential for sustainable, FishSafe hydro development in Japan.
The US Water Power Technologies Office selected Natel for $1.3M in funding to educate the public about hydropower, its relationship with freshwater ecology, and its benefit to a renewable grid.
Nearly half of the world’s fish species live in freshwater rivers, lakes, and wetlands, even though those represent less than 0.01% of the Earth’s water.
