Pumping Groundwater to Create Cold-Water Thermal Refuges in Warming Rivers Kathryn A. Smith and Barret L. Kurylyk
Abstract: Thermal refuges in rivers and streams provide critical habitat for cold-water species during periods of thermal stress. In this study, we created a new cold-water thermal refuge by pumping cool groundwater to...
