Abstract
Urban areas with dark and impermeable surfaces are known to have a heating effect on air and still water compared to surrounding areas, called the urban heat island effect (UHI). UHI and stormwater discharges’ collective impact on stream temperature, especially regarding seasonal changes, is a less-studied field. In this study, the temperature effect of the urban village Aarslev on Stream Vindinge in Southern Denmark was examined. Loggers (ID A–L) were placed in Stream Vindinge in 2020–2021, measuring temperature (°C) and pressure (kPa). Outlets were analyzed with respect to origin: Direct stormwater outlets (rain ÷ basin), stormwater delayed by ponds (rain + basin), common overflow, and common sewage from WWTP. Data showed the stream temperature rise through Aarslev village in all months (except March) with 0.3–1.9 °C, most notably in the summer months. A one-way ANOVA confirmed that the upstream station A and downstream station K were significantly different (p-values < 0.001). No significant difference in temperatures between the different outlet types was found. An increase in stream temperature was observed in response to rain events, followed by a temperature decrease. This was assumed to be a “first heat flush”. This was speculated to mean less optimal conditions for trout and sensitive macroinvertebrates not because of heat shock, but rather to lower O2 concentrations and higher mineralization. River and lake temperatures are projected to increase, and this effect might become more pronounced. A decrease in stream temperature was observed after the village (station L). Therefore, it was concluded that the rise in temperature through the village was due to UHI.
