    | 
   Caption:  This Chart shows the floating weekly average water temperature at Porter Creek (site PORT1) for the years 1999-2001.  Maximum floating weekly average water temperatures (MWAT) exceeded 17.0°C in all three years, and exceeded 19.0°C in two of three years.  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.  Temperature data comes from automated water temperature data probes placed in the Russian River and its tributaries by the Sonoma County Water Agency (SCWA).
