A structure for diverting fish away from water intakes comprises a porous dike
having a bottom portion, a central portion, and a top portion, the top portion
preferably being submerged a short distance below the surface, and the central
portion having flow passages. In a preferred embodiment, the top and bottom portions
comprise solid blocks and the flow passages in the central portion are lined with
zebra mussel resistant sleeves to minimize clogging. Preferably the sleeve can
be readily replaced as desired.
