Design of Fish pass of NMHEP

Data
Full Reservior level = 1267 m
Minimum Tail water level at d/s of barrafge 1250 m
Maximum tail water level at d/s of barrage = 1248 m
Orifice size bs& hs = 0.3
Minimum water difference = 17
Maximum water difference, htot = 19

Pool width, b = 1m
Minimum water depth,h = 0.8 m

The maximum water level difference, ∆hmax = 0.1 m

No. of pools needed,

�=( ℎ_𝑡𝑜𝑡)/∆ℎ�� = 189 say
�-1
flow velocity in orifice, �=√(2𝑔.∆ℎ𝑚𝑎𝑥) = 1.400714 m/sec
To ensure a flow with low turbulence and adequate energy conversion within the
pools, the volumetric dissipated power should not exceed E = 150 to 200 W/m3

Take E = 150

�=𝜌𝑔∆ℎ𝑄/(𝑏ℎ_𝑚 (𝑙_𝑏−𝑑))
Eq.1

Discharge , Qs.max =ѱ 𝐴𝑠√(2𝑔.∆ℎ𝑚𝑎𝑥) Assume ѱ =0.75

(ѱ is discharge co-efficient and can be estimated as = 0.65 to 0.85)
Assume ѱ = 0.75

Discharge , Qs.max = 0.094548 m3/sec

Minimal mean water depth,hm=h+∆h/2 = 0.85 m

Plank rhickness, d = 0.1 m

From eq.1, Length of pool = 0.827465

Length of fishpass required = 156.3909 m
