These strategies work best for small streams with high vegetation or trees that provide significant reductions in light intensity.  Studies have shown that streams with extensive riparian shading have maximum summer temperatures between 1 or 2 degrees lower than unshaded streams (AECOM, 2009<ref>AECOM Canada Ltd. 2009.
