The water temperatures actually vary from a minimum just before sunrise to a maximum just before sunset. The maximum daytime water temperature model was used for the normal monthly discharges and meterological conditions and was solved using the HP-41C (Table 7). The • results can be interpreted to be indicative of the anticipated rise in water temperatures above the average daily temperature for any year. For example, the month of June shows an increase in water temperature of 1.81 to 2.12C above the average daily for the normal June conditions. There- fore, the month of June in any year can be expected to show a similar increase.
