This chart shows the maximum daily water temperatures in 1999 of North Russian Creek above, below and in South Russian Creek. The water temperature in both North Russian Creek and South Russian Creek remained below the level stressful for Salmonids during the summer months. South Russian Creek appeared to have a cooling effect on North Russian Creek throughout most of the summer. Data were collected by automated temperature sensors called Hobotemps, which were anchored in flowing water in the shade. Hobotemps were monitored by community volunteers and paid staff of the Salmon River Restoration Council. Data for this chart were derived from Chart Table SRUMAX99.dbf, which in turn was filtered from Source Table SALMON99.dbf.
