Collect water temps wherever you fish!
Hot Homewaters Taskforce aims to monitor stream temperatures across Oregon
Goals:
1. Determine how hot streams get during summer.
2. Provide temperature data for streams that aren’t currently monitored for temperature.
3. Provide data to analyze land management.
Tasks:
Collecting temperature from streams, as close to the main flow possible while staying safe.
Get Started:
Grab a stream thermometer and visit your favorite stream! Taking regular temperature measurements in the same location at different times of the day throughout the year will provide the most useful data.
