Understanding heat fluxes within rivers is increasingly important as anthropogenic influences and changing climate alter river thermal regimes, which can lead to shifts in aquatic species composition and changing rates of biogeochemical processes (Evans, et al., 1998: Pool and Berman, 2001). Numerous and inter-related physical mechanisms influence stream temperature, making it difficult to distinguish the magnitude of impact of individual drivers (johnson, 2004).
