An artificial floods program has been implemented on the Sarine residual flow reach, downstream of the Rossens dam. Two artificial floods were released in 2016 (coupled with sediment augmentation) and in 2020. A natural flood occurred in 2021. The indicato ...

In the residual flow reach of the Sarine river (Switzerland), downstream of the Rossens dam, the low discharge regime and deficient bed load dynamics impact the riverscape habitat mosaic and cause substrate degradation by colmation. In 2016, an artificial ...

Proliferative kidney disease (PKD) is a major threat to wild and farmed salmonid populations because of its lethal effect at high water temperatures. Its causative agent, the myxozoan Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, has a complex lifecycle exploiting freshw ...

Hydropeaking, resulting from rapid starting and shut-down of turbines, is one of the major hydrological alterations in Alpine streams. The upper Aare River basin in Switzerland comprises a complex high-head storage hydropower scheme. The significant turbin ...

Attractiveness of a lateral shelter in a channel as a refuge for juvenile brown trout during hydropeaking

Anton Schleiss, Jean-Marc Ribi, Armin Julius Peter

Peak power production in hydroelectric storage power plants results in frequent and intense flow variations in the rivers downstream of the plants. Fish populations can be negatively impacted when subjected to these so-called hydropeaking phenomena. In res ...

In mountainous areas, high-head-storage hydropower plants produce peak load energy. The resulting unsteady water release to rivers, called hydropeaking, alters the natural flow regime. Mitigating the adverse impacts of hydropeaking on aquatic ecosystems ha ...

High-head storage hydropower plants are an important renewable source of energy in alpine areas. Kinetic energy released from water, which is stored in reservoir and diverted through turbines, produces electricity. During daily peaks of energy demand, the ...

Downstream of hydroelectric storage dams, the rivers suffer from rapid, frequent and intense flow variations linked to the power production constraints. Subjected to this hydropeaking phenomenon, the fish population suffers from a known decline. In the res ...

In the framework of a research project focusing on mitigation measures for hydropeaking, a lateral embayment at the channel bank is studied as a fish refuge. Systematic experiments with different refuge configurations were carried out. The basic configurat ...
