Bogrie Hydro Scheme
Recently we attended on site at the installation of the Bogrie Micro Hydro scheme. We are working with the installers to ensure that the outflow for the scheme is fish friendly. Having previously surveyed the watercourse, fish are present and both the installers and owners want to work with the Board and the Trust to protect them. We are assisting in the design of the outflow to ensure that it does not attract migrating salmonid species of fish. In addition we also want to ensure that the focused flow emanating from the outflow does not create long term erosion issues. Both concerns can be addressed by consultation at an early stage.
