stream temperature monitoring

Stream temperature monitoring involves measuring the warmth of water in rivers and streams over time. This information helps determine the health of aquatic ecosystems, as temperature affects fish and other aquatic life. Sensors are often placed in the water to record temperature continuously, providing detailed data on fluctuations caused by weather, shading, or human activities. Monitoring stream temperatures helps authorities manage water resources, protect native species, and address issues like pollution or climate change impacts, ensuring that aquatic environments remain resilient and supporting biodiversity.
