2 of 3

This is a water temperature raw data collected during 2018 from the TRCA watersheds as per the Regional Watershed Monitoring Program (RWMP). The data can be used for various purposes depending on the hypothesis being tested.

Water temperature data is recorded in degrees Celcius, once every 15 to 30 minutes through loggers. Data is logged continuously throughout three seasons (spring, summer, fall) although some record year-round. Where possible, temperatures were obtained at the same Regional Watershed Monitoring Program (RWMP) sites where fish and benthic community sampling also occurred. There are 150 RWMP monitoring sites across the TRCA's nine watersheds. Water temperature data is recorded and various locations on a three-year cycle.
