Kayaderosseras Creek is a trout stream in Saratoga County, but trout are cold-water fish and increased urbanization in the watershed may be increasing stream temperature. We ran a thermal urban runoff model on 15 sites throughout the watershed. Percent impervious cover at the sites had a large impact on both runoff and stream temperatures. Low-impact development and other techniques for reducing runoff are needed to maintain trout habitat in the watershed.
