KRIS Russian River: Chart Page

Area Ukiah
Topic Temperature: All Ukiah Sub-basin Sites, MWAT by Year 1996-2001
 
Caption:  This Chart shows maximum floating weekly average temperature (MWAT) for each site in the Ukiah sub-basin with available data in the years 1996-2001. Sites are grouped by stream and are listed in upstream order, beginning on the left side of the chart with the lowest Russian River site and ending with York Creek listed on the far right. MWATs exceeded 17.0°C at every site at least once at every site, and MWAT exceeded 19.0°C at most sites every year. Based on a review of steelhead growth studies, Sullivan et al. (2000) found that compared to optimum temperatures, an MWAT of 17.0°C reduced steelhead growth by 10%, and an MWAT of 19.0°C reduced growth by 20%. See InfoLinks for more information. Data provided by Mendocino County Water Agency and Mendocino Redwoods Company.
