Abstract: | A realistic approach to thermal impact assessment is presented which employs a two-dimensional thermal plume model, a large data base for river flow and temperature, and accounts for nonuniform spatial distribution of habitats and seasonal differences in fish behavior. The end result portrays real effects of the thermal impact rather than an artificially constructed worst-case scenario. |
