Weir Fishways

Weir Fishways is a type of fish passage structure designed to facilitate the upstream migration of aquatic species by employing a series of low-head barriers (weirs) that dissipate flow energy and create stepwise pools, distinguishing it from other fishway designs through its utilization of free overfall weirs to manage water velocity and depth gradients.
