MD-WERP Tactical Project: Operational ranges of the River Murray fishways
Project Lead: GHD
The study demonstrates the benefits of combining existing historical datasets with digital modelling and analysis tools by:
-
Reviewing and assessing fishway performance and operational limits across the expected hydrological flow range for the River Murray fishways
-
characterising fishway conditions and effectiveness for proposed Weir Pool Manipulation (WPM) levels across the expected hydrological flow range
-
developing operational guidance notes that detail lock/weir operation relative to fishway operational limits with respect to real-time measurements of Tail Water Level and Head Water Level.
