DRAFT Median and minimum water temperatures calculated at four continuous recorders in the lower river operated by USGS are plotted in Figures 3-30 A and B for 2002. The recorder at I-275 is 100 meters downstream from Sulphur Springs, while the recorder at Hanna's Whirl is 1.7 km upstream of the spring. Again, median and minimum water temperatures are warmer near the spring at the I-275 recorder during January and 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 35 35 Minimum Water Temperature 2002 Water Column Temperature (oC) 30 25 20 15 Rowlett Hanna I-275 30 25 20 15 Platt 10 MthlyMinTemp_USGS.grf 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Month 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 35 35 Median Water Temperature 2002 Water Column Temperature (oC) 30 25 20 15 Rowlett Hanna 30 25 20 15 I-275 Platt 10 MthlyMedTemp_USGS.grf 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Month Figure 3-30.
