Doorbell for Fish

[mikeprice]

Yup - for fish

translation from the German

 

Fish swim every spring from the Vecht, via the Oudegracht and the canals, to the Kromme Rijn. Straight through Utrecht, looking for a place to lay eggs and reproduce. Sometimes they have to wait a long time at the Weerdsluis, because the lock gates do not open often in the spring. We have come up with something for that. There is a camera under water at the lock. You can see the live images below. Are there any fish in the picture? Then press the fish doorbell. The lock keeper is alerted and, if there are many fish, can open the lock. This way you help fish through the canal.

 

It can be a bit slow due to heavy usage - so I though I would post it here - which they may not thank me for

 

anyway I will just perch here and watch - maybe they can scale the system up?

just to be clear - we have to get these things right

Just so that I can stay in tuna with all of the comments, might I add a little ray of hope to the proceedings by being the sole voice of sanity?
