Water is commonly diverted
from streams, rivers and lakes for industry, household uses,
irrigation, and hydroelectric generation. This diversion is
a potential source of injury and death to fish. Several types
of screening have been designed to prevent fish from entering
these water intakes. |
Humans
have a tendency to want everything in the natural world to
look neat and orderly. This has led to some well meaning groups
trying to improve streams by removing everything, including
rocks, logs, and all vegetation on the side of the stream.
Be careful what you remove! |
