Stream Temperature
Since 2005, GCWIN has monitored Grand County's streams and rivers for temperature. Currently, GCWIN has 55 active monitoring sites spread out across the county. Stream temperature remains a concern particularly in the summer when high temperatures can hurt our valuable cold-water trout fisheries.
GCWIN's Stream Temperature Monitoring Plan:
-
Provides a baseline of temperature data in the Upper Colorado and Fraser River Basins
-
Provides information that has been used to support Colorado stream temperature standards
-
Facilitated Grand County's Stream Management Plan
-
Supports operational decisions for water diversion projects
