About
Drought and irrigation diversions result in streamflow intermittency and stranding of an endangered fish in the Rio Grande of New Mexico, USA. This dataset contains collected temperatures of isolated pools (by date and time) that formed during streamflow intermittency in the Middle Rio Grande of New Mexico, USA, from 2011 to 2016 during fish rescue operations. These temperatures are compared to stream temperatures at an upstream perennial site in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. Additionally, the broader study involved collecting Rio Grande silvery minnow during intermittency in 2018 and 2020 to evaluate post-rescue survival in captivity.

Distribution
The dataset is provided in CSV format, specifically the file
alameda_combined_final.csv. The file size is approximately 12.32 MB. It contains 176,000 valid records (176k) representing a time series of temperature observations.Usage
- Survival analysis of endangered fish species in intermittent streams.
- Analysis of water temperature thermal regimes during drought.
- Comparisons between isolated pool temperatures and perennial stream temperatures.
- Ecological modelling and exploratory data analysis (EDA).
- Time series analysis of hydrological and environmental data.
Coverage
The data geographically covers the Middle Rio Grande in New Mexico, USA, specifically isolated pools and an upstream site in Albuquerque. The temporal coverage for the temperature data in the sample file spans from May 2011 to October 2016. The biological scope focuses on the endangered Rio Grande silvery minnow.
