Stream Temperature Monitoring Grant This project is intended as 20 years of stream temperature monitoring and riparian assessment to see whether ODA can show that reductions in stream temperature (if any) can be related to improved riparian conditions. Air temperature and stream flow are tracked to determine their potential influence on stream temperature over the long term, 20 years.
Data will not be analyzed as a whole by ODA until 2033, but ODA may decide before then to analyze parts of the project. This grant is only available to established local partners.
