Abstract |
A stream's temperature is a major factor in its ability to support fish life and to be utilized for other beneficial purposes. The approach most generally used for stream temperature prediction is the Energy-Budget method, which involves the inventory of all the energy entering and leaving the stream. The research involved the measuring of evaporation rates from porous stream models of five surface configurations placed in a low velocity wind tunnel and the measurement of physical parameters which are included in various evaporation equations. |
