Cover: Monitoring of stream temperature and related factors is critical for protecting and restoring populations of salmonids and the other native fish that require cold-water and reproduce (see pages 149,153, 161). Likewise, the monitoring of flows into and out of irrigated pasture can help to mitigate environmental impacts (see page 168). Data collected at Lassen Creek (shown), in north-eastern Modoc County, demonstrates how shade from thick vegetative cover helps to maintain cool stream temperatures... Photo by Kenneth W. Tate .
