21.   Because alligators like to find their food in hot, steamy climates and their feeding is governed by water temperature, the weather was a big disadvantage for us.

22.   A dishwasher can be very effective in killing the bacteria if the water temperature is set high enough.

23.   A reef becomes bleached when its symbiotic algae die because of warmer water temperatures or some other environmental shock.

24.   A trademark in the Northeast is the water temperature.

25.   Additionally, cool spring weather delayed the snow melt, causing water temperatures to be much colder than usual and increasing the chance of hypothermia.

26.   Brook trout also hatch earlier in the year, in colder water temperatures than the highly vulnerable rainbows.

27.   But eventually, water temperatures dropped enough to send the last of the stripers to points south, or to their wintering grounds up the Hudson River.

28.   But scientists warn that the early rise in water temperature may create conditions late in the summer that could cause fish to die off in large numbers.

29.   Clear-cutting can destroy salmon rivers by loading them with silt and raising their water temperatures too high by eliminating tree shade.

30.   Construction of Glen Canyon Dam halted the natural flow of sediment down the river and lowered the water temperature significantly.
