The Mussel Behind Clean Water: Why Fish Passage Matters for Water Quality

Listen to a short audio piece about Low Impact Hydropower, including discussion of the LIHI-certified Freedom Hydro Plant in Maine. Accompanying text conversation between Abe and Eric Krebs.

When we created first FishSafe™ RHT design in 2019, we envisioned a high-performance turbine family for the small hydro market. Now, we know that FishSafe™ designs have the potential to go further.

Senior Hydropower Technical Associate Tatiana Marzan and researchers at ORNL found, through detailed analysis of costs associated with fish exclusion, that FishSafe™ RHTs were more cost-effective.
