  1. Lower Saluda and Congaree Rivers Temperature Study: Update Water Quality Technical Working Committee Meeting March 26, 2007

  2. Paired Temperature Sensor Locations PAIRED TEMPERATURE SENSOR LOCATIONS

  3. Conclusions • Congaree and Broad diverge from Saluda in early April • Cross-sectional temperatures vary below confluence • To date, data suggests that influence extends at least to I-77 Bridge

  4. Challenges • Vandalism / Theft • Breakoffs (corrosion / snags / high flows) • Inaccessibility of instruments due to high flows

  5. Future Needs • Gather additional data through October 2007 • Evaluate temperature impacts under varying flow conditions (i.e. varying inflows/operations, normal precipitation) • Appropriate statistical analysis methods • missing values • How to deal with errors (i.e. due disturbance of probe, etc.)
