Delaware River Water Temperature graphic for 30-Day Chart Challenge

Detailed Description

Delaware River Water Temperature graphic for Water Resources Mission Area 30-Day Chart Challenge contribution on social media

Fun water fact! In the summer, the Delaware River Master’s office releases cold bottom water from reservoirs to keep river temperatures downstream cooler for improved habitat. 

The USGS uses sophisticated monitoring and modeling to predict water temperature in the Delaware River Basin, helping managers know when the time is right to release water. Learn more about this science at our website.
