Grant Description: The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), Mid-Pacific Region, intends to award a cooperative agreement to the University of California, Berkeley pursuant to the authority of Public Law 102-575, Central Valley Project Improvement Act, Section 3406. The purpose of the project is to provide a cooperative study of Delta water temperature as part of a broader effort to determine the causes and consequences of the Pelagic Organisms Decline (POD). The objectives are to: (i) determine historical trends in Delta water temperature with particular emphasis on the frequency and duration of threshold temperatures important to fish; (ii) evaluate spatial variability of Delta water temperature, especially lateral and vertical variation at long term monitoring stations and differences between mainstem and off-channel reaches; and (iii) use modeling to determine how thermal refugia for fish are established and maintained. (See Notice of Intent to Award announcement for additional information) If you have any questions please email msims@mp.usbr.gov.
