On a hot dry August afternoon, 16 BWA volunteers collected temperature and conductivity measurements at 66 sites on streams throughout the Watershed.
Both temperature and conductivity/salinity impact aquatic life. Trout, particularly brook trout, are sensitive to temperature, and may not survive at temperatures above 23o C. The best temperature for growth & feeding is 12 – 18o C.
