This infographic visualizes the range of hydropower plants included in the Atlas Fish Protection & Downstream Fish. The entries in the atlas cover all basic turbine types. Sites with Kaplan turbine (42) are the most common, followed by Francis turbine (21). Other turbine types include bulb turbine (6), VLH turbine (2), flow-through turbine (1), Pelton turbine (1) and other turbine types (9).The infographic is part of a fact sheet on fish protection and downstream fish migration measures.

A closer look at the different types of hydropower plants shows that the site inputs reflect well both their spectrum and the frequency distribution in Germany.
