Thermal signatures identify the influence of dams and ponds on stream temperature at the regional scale

Hanieh Seyedhashemi et al.

Summary: The study introduced five thermal indicators based on the stream-air temperature relationship to identify altered thermal signatures of dams and ponds, and evaluated their effectiveness using a regional dataset from the Loire River basin in France. Results showed that large dams decreased summer stream temperature, while upstream ponds increased it.

Impacts of small dams on stream temperature

Peter A. Zaidel et al.

Summary: Research shows that most small dams lead to higher downstream water temperatures, with the majority of warming concentrated near the dam, but some warming effects can persist up to 1.31 km downstream. The impact of dams is influenced by factors such as flow rate, dam length, and ecological surroundings.

Describing alpine lake influence on stream network temperatures: A statistical modelling approach

Samuel P. Carlson et al.

Summary: This study investigated the complexity of temperature profiles in montane stream networks, finding that stream temperature patterns are influenced by hydrologic and atmospheric processes, and the varying contribution of lake water to stream flow. Using a source-water mixing model in summer and autumn provided a parsimonious explanation for complex temperature patterns, while simpler models without lake effects were more optimal in winter and spring, indicating temporal variations in stream temperature profiles across seasons.

Lake Outflow and Hillslope Lateral Inflows Dictate Thermal Regimes of Forested Streams Draining Small Lakes

Jason A. Leach et al.

Summary: Empirical studies have shown that lakes have a significant impact on stream temperature at landscape scales, even with a small fraction of the catchment area represented by lakes. Lake outlet temperatures in summer and autumn were higher compared to hillslope lateral inflow temperatures. The influence of lakes on downstream temperature was greatest during periods of high lake outflow and persisted for at least 1.4 km downstream.
