| Creator | Null, Sarah E. Ligare, S. T. Viers, J. H. |
| Description | In this paper, we provide a method for examining water quality objectives below dams at the mesoscale using a multi-model approach. Our method is a pilot application intended to leverage climate-forced hydrologies into reservoir inflows, combined with in-reservoir thermal dynamics, reservoir release operations, and downstream temperature changes driven by atmospheric conditions. Habitats for coldwater fish species, such as trout and salmon, have been reduced by water development,... |
