                                                                                                    (2) The key causes of water temperature of Basin water resources above natural ranges are the following:
                                                                                                       (a) the release of stored water from large water storages in winter;
                                                                                                       (b) the removal of shading riparian vegetation;
                                                                                                       (c) reduced flow.
