Abstract: A study was conducted in western North Carolina, along the southeastern extent of the U.S. trout populations, to examine the effect of bioretention areas on runoff temperature. Four bioretention areas were monitored during ...

Abstract: With increasing development in areas of trout sensitive waters, the effect of urban storm-water runoff temperature on the aquatic ecosystem has become a concern. A study was conducted in western North Carolina, along the ...

Abstract: Urban runoff adversely impacts cold-water stream environments due to sporadic fluxes of thermally enriched runoff. This adversely impacts tourism in regions that support trout and salmon streams. Research on storm water ...
