HOW STREAM WATER TEMPERATURE CAN GUIDE AN INTEGRATIVE URBAN STREAM PROJECTS FRAWEMORK.
Urban stream ecology is intrinsically linked to the need to improve stormwater management and the rapidly expanding networks of engineered green infrastructure (GSI). In this multidisciplinary context, where increased collaborations between aquatic ecologists, hydrologists, and environmental engineers are needed, we proposed the use of water temperature-based metrics to define a baseline for an integrative framework for GSI.
Water temperature is a fundamental parameter of stream ecology that is influenced by land use, stormwater infrastructure designs, and riparian buffer management, especially in urban areas. For example, water temperatures measured in Baltimore area showed that impervious surface can increased daily water temperature by 3 oC. Since water temperature can be linked to most aquatic ecological processes, water quality and aquatic organism distributions at various spatio-temporal scales, water temperature-based metrics appear logical for monitoring multidisciplinary storm water projects.
We believe the use of common metrics when developing GSI, will improve the communication and collaboration between ecologists, hydrologists, and engineers. Moreover, it will set the baseline for a common framework to improve urban stream ecology and GSI capacities in already urbanized and urbanizing areas.
