Raw Water Intake Design
Raw Water Intake Design
(OP)
I am attempting to find a good reference source for Raw Water Intake Structure design (rivers, lakes or reservoirs). My inital attempts at the AWWA Bookstore and general internet serach really did not yield much if anything.
Any suggestions on where to find design guidleines and graphic examples of Raw Water Intake Structures/Systems?

My ~1908 edition of somebody's Electrical Engineers Handbook was pretty well trashed by a hurricane and a dog, but I swear it used to have a section about designing a hydroelectric dam, including the water intake details.
My point is, you may want to look at books from other specialties, and maybe older books too.
I.e., you might have to give up and visit an actual library.

Conventional intakes are receiving more notice from the environmental types due to fish entrainment and entrapment on the screens which will impact information shown in older documents.

Hydro dams have trash racks, not fish racks, because fish are extraordinarily sensitive to lateral pressure. That's why schools turn in unison. So drawing water horizontally at a velocity that's not too high for the fish to swim against will cause the fish to swim away from the inlet. Drawing water down will catch a lot of fish.

Do a google book search as well
