Gurram, S. K. and T. Pohjamo (1999). Hydraulic assessment of a fish and boat pass channel. International Journal on Hydropower and Dams. 6:65-67.
A concept has been proposed to combine a fishway and a boat channel at narrow sites where two separate channels cannot be constructed. This article describes the results of model and prototype studies of the combined channel structure recently built at Evijarvi, in central Finland. The baffles were designed to reduce the water velocities on the sides and bottom of the channel by reflecting the water current back on itself, so that both fish and boats can ascend the channel.
