| Coverage | Columbia River; Oregon; |
| Description | Water temperature is one of the most important factors determining the health of fish and other aquatic organisms. If water temperatures warm beyond a critical threshold, particularly during the sensitive life stages of fish, survival can markedly decrease. In 1996, the State of Oregon adopted a revised maximum water temperature standard of 17.8 C (degrees Celsius) (64 F [degrees Fahrenheit]) for most waterways, including the Tualatin River in northwestern Oregon. To assess water temperature... |
