cold streams
Frigid flowing waters
Cold streams are watercourses fed by groundwater, snowmelt, or springs that maintain low temperatures year-round.
They provide critical habitat for trout and other species requiring cool, oxygen-rich water: The cold streams of the Appalachians support native brook trout populations.
Climate change and development threaten many cold streams by raising water temperatures.
