Approach
Increase understanding of thermal heterogeneity in streams and cold-water refugia
Tactics
- Identify and inventory cold-water refugia
- springs
- and groundwater input to springs
- Identify seasonal refugia (winter and summer)
- Research the influences of lakes
- reservoirs
- and groundwater on stream temperatures
- Research fish use of thermal refugia
