Development of Weather-Dependent Flow Requirements for River Temperature Control.
/ Streamflow influences biological processes, habitat, and ecological integrity of streams in a number of vital ways. The establishment of weather-dependent minimum flows is essential to the protection of the aquatic environment and wildlife habitat from the adverse impacts of high water temperatures and to the effective utilization of the assimilative capacity of instream flows. In this study, weather-dependent flow requirements for summer river temperature control are derived from quantitative temperature-flow relationships. Correlation and regression of historical data and an analytical solution to the basic heat balance equation are employed to quantify the impacts of stream flow on river temperatures. Five-year continuous field measurements from the Platte River, Nebraska, USA, are used to illustrate the practical application in water-quality management. The methods and results demonstrate the feasibility of temperature control through streamflow management to meet water temperature standards and protect the aquatic biota by setting the appropriate weather-related minimum river discharges. The flow requirements are evaluated by a comparison with a critical discharge. Information provided in this paper will assist in planning streamflow regulation, design of river and reservoir operations, and application of water-quality criteria in environmental management.KEY WORDS: River discharges; Flow management; Habitat; Water quality; Weather; Wildlifehttp://link.springer-ny.com/link/service/journals/00267/bibs/24n4p529.html</HEA
