Overview: Farmer's Irrigation District Fish Screening

This project involves developing, prototyping, and utilizing fish-friendly screens for the irrigation district that will help provide long-term sustainability for the orchard industry in Hood River.

The project will be accomplished in three phases: field testing of the screens, development and implementation of a business strategy to generate revenue from screen production, and using proceeds from the screen development to enhance sustainable agricultural practices in the Hood River Valley.
