It's no secret that the exponential growth of the world's population
and industrial development have tremendously impacted our aquatic environments. At
the same time, the global community now recognizes how critical fisheries
are to the world's economic, nutritional and recreational resources.
Projects Around the World
As an industry leader, MWH is deeply committed to advancing technologies
for sustainable development of fisheries. Over the years, we have developed
comprehensive expertise in fish facility planning and design, including upstream
passage (i.e., fish ladders, lifts), downstream passage (i.e., screens, surface
collectors and bypass systems), hatcheries, test facilities, aquariums and
other structures.
Over the years, we have provided engineering design, technical assistance
and training to:
- Construct three state-of-the-art fish hatcheries for the State of Utah,
Division of Wildlife Resources, each capable of producing over 100,000
pound of fish per year.
- A $27-million Egyptian Aquaculture Development Project for the Government
of Egypt.
- Fish and shellfish producers in Asia and Latin America (both private
and public sectors), helping them to achieve a disease-free water supply
from a contaminated source - the ocean.
- Several aquatic parks, including a $15-million installation at Sea World
of Florida and the sophisticated closed water recycling systems at the
Baltimore Aquarium and Sea World of Ohio. Additionally, all engineering
elements of the Living Seas Pavilion at Disney Epcot Center in Orlando,
Florida.
- A $1.7-million study for the San Diego (California) Region Water Reclamation
Agency, which evaluated the use of aquatic plants and animals for wastewater
treatment.
