| Title | Assessing the Effects of Water Right Purchases on Stream Temperatures and Fish Habitat |
| Creator | Null, Sarah Elmore, L |
| Description | Warm stream temperature and low flow conditions are limiting factors for native trout species in Nevada's Walker River. Water rights purchases are being considered to increase instream flow and improve habitat conditions. However, the effect of water rights purchases on stream temperatures and fish habitat have yet to be assessed. Manipulating flow conditions affect stream temperatures by altering water depth, velocity, and thermal mass. This study uses the River Modeling System (RMSv4), an... |
