Fish ladders (also called fish ladders) are hydraulic engineering devices that are installed in streams and rivers to give fish the opportunity to overcome obstacles as part of their fish migration. What is a bypass channel? The bypass channel is an artificially created stream-like river course, which is optically and ecologically very close to a natural body of water. This type of fish ladder is the most popular because it creates additional habitats and spawning / breeding grounds for fish and birds due to the mostly relatively low water level. Why is a fish pass / bypass channel being built here? The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) provides for the restoration of ecological continuity in streams, rivers and lakes. Structures such as the Schwitten power plant represent barely surmountable obstacles for fish and aquatic invertebrates and thus hinder their spread and new colonization. The planned construction measure will restore the continuity of the Schwitten power plant with a near-natural fish pass along the lapwing meadow and a technical fish passage.
