Nearly 80% of water diversions in the Pacific Northwest are unscreened and can pose a major risk to fish*
*FRIMA 2002-04 report

What about the other 20%?
Criteria for screen design, operation, and protection of fish largely from studies of salmonids

Goal
Develop criteria for design and operation of fish screens that minimize injury and
mortality to lamprey
Test performance of 5 screen materials for protecting larval lamprey
Objective
![Page 12: U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Impact of irrigation diversion screens on juvenile lamprey in the Columbia River basin Matthew G.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551c48b8550346b1458b48f6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Screen types
Profile bar (1.75 mm) Interlock (1.7 mm)
Perf. plate (2.4 mm) 12 & 14 g woven wire
![Page 13: U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Impact of irrigation diversion screens on juvenile lamprey in the Columbia River basin Matthew G.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551c48b8550346b1458b48f6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Methods
• 5 size classes (mean TL= 40, 50, 60, 100, 130 mm)
• 2 releases per size class• 6–13 fish per release• 1 h test at 12 cm/s AV
• Sizes of fish entrained • Timing of entrainment • Injury and mortality
Evaluated

Fish injury
• Severe injuries rare• Minor abrasions to the skin and caudal fin
– 2–13% for all fish– 0–9% for those above the screen– 5% for control fish
• Injuries more common in smaller fish• Higher for screens that were most protective
![Page 18: U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Impact of irrigation diversion screens on juvenile lamprey in the Columbia River basin Matthew G.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551c48b8550346b1458b48f6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Summary
• Screens offered varying levels of protection
• Fish < 46 mm entrained by all screens• Impingement common for all sizes of
fish• PP and IL performed the best• Wire cloth screens performed the
worst
Use PP or IL Replace wire cloth screens

Current research
• Test SV and AV scenarios• Test different screen types
– Vertical, rotary drum, etc.– Cleaning structures
• Test criteria at field sites
