Stream Water Temperature
The impacts of human activities such has harvesting and other land uses on water quality have been an environmental concern for many years. One of the primary concerns is the potential for land use activities to produce increases in stream temperature. Water temperature is one of the primary water quality constituents recognized as the dominant causes of impairment in streams throughout the Pacific Northwest.
