I'm happy to tell you that the DRAFT Summary Implementation Strategy includes an initial list of actions for improving temperature at the dams. Many of these actions are studies to help clarify issues, determine the feasibility of structural improvements, address environmental impacts, and quantify the benefits of improvement measures.
For instance, they are studying if water at a lower depth can be released from Grand Coulee Dam. Remember, the water is cooler down there. But whether it'll make a difference is a complicated question. For instance, is the temperature difference and amount that can be sent downstream enough to make a difference? As importantly, if cooler water is taken downstream, will Lake Roosevelt heat up and cause a problem for me and my friends?
