Abstract Long Description

Data collection - consisting of continuous temperature monitoring, Thermal Infrared Imagery, stream flow monitoring, riparian surveys, and an extensive groundwater study - is planned for the summer of 2004 in the Naches River Watershed. The Washington State Department of Ecology is working cooperatively with the Naches Technical Workgroup to coordinate field work. Water temperature in the Naches Basin will be characterized and loading capacity and load and wasteload allocations established for heat sources in the watershed to meet water quality standards.
