Acknowledgments

This study was funded partially by the Portland District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Thanks to Jim Britton, Art Armour, and Mary Karen Scullion of USACE for providing funding, project coordination, and inflow and evaporation data for the USACE Willamette Basin projects. Thanks also to Janet Gillaspie and the Oregon Association of Clean Water Agencies, which had funded a previous Willamette River temperature modeling study that generated most of the without-dam temperature estimates. Finally, the author is grateful to the group of reviewers who provided helpful comments on this report.
