Abstract
An outfall structure, intended to minimize juvenile mortality subsequent to release into the tailrace, was designed while developing juvenile salmonid bypass systems at dams in Washington. A unique end configuration for the outfall structure was developed in an effort to minimize the stress and exposure to predation that the plunge from an outfall may induce. The flow spreader minimizes the initial plunge depth and maximizes the initial flow dispersion from the outfall. Enhancement of outfall plunge hydraulic conditions such as these may increase survival of juvenile salmonids following release from the bypass system.
