Challenges in modern dam designs

In working on large-scale water projects, I’ve found that balancing environmental concerns with engineering demands is increasingly complex. For instance, integrating fish passages without compromising the dam’s structural integrity can be a real challenge — how do others approach these design dilemmas while ensuring both functionality and ecological responsibility?
