Northwest Hydraulic Consultants (NHS)
Recreational Hydraulics Services
Many major cities and communities worldwide are revitalizing their river corridors for recreation. In many cases, replacing dangerous hydraulic structures with naturalized `whitewater parks` has provided many public benefits. Although usually designed for canoeing and kayaking, `playwave` features are fun for swimming, wading, and viewing, and also provide fish passage.
