Climate Implications Lakes, Rivers and Streams As air temperatures rise, so will water temperatures in freshwater systems. Shallow waters are especially vulnerable to temperature increases, which decreases the availability of fresh water habitat for cold-water species.
Wildfires can have immediate and long term effects on rivers, lakes, and streams. After burning vegetation, the grounds soil becomes hydrophobic and is unable to absorb any water. This creates what is known as stormwater runoff.
In addition to producing smoke, fire can incapacitate or kill by reducing oxygen levels, either by consuming the oxygen, or by displacing it with other gases. Heat is also a respiratory hazard, as superheated gases burn the respiratory tract. When the air is hot enough, one breath can kill.
When air temperatures are high, some heat is added to the stream directly from the air (known as convection). Simultaneously, this warmer air causes more evaporation. Because energy (heat) is used to evapo- rate water, heat energy is lost from the stream when evaporation occurs, thus cooling the stream.
Impacting agriculture, transportation, power and gas services, water supply, and the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems, wildfires affect every aspect of life. Wildfires are a global threat.

Negative effects of wildfires Wildfires lead to erosion. Leads to secondary hazards like flooding and landslides. Air pollution. Wildfires reduce vegetation cover. Loss of habitat. Damage built infrastructure. Wildfires lead to economic losses. Loss of lives and social disruption.
Dry heat helps create more fuel to burn, and wind both spreads wildfire more rapidly and makes it much harder to put out. Climate change is stacking the deck so that hot, dry and windy weather shows up more frequently than it used to.
High-severity fires burn with high heat, climb into and remove the tree canopy, and can scorch the soil and tree roots. At a large scale, high-severity fires can be incredibly damaging to wildlife and the ecosystem.
They spread air pollution not only nearby, but thousands of miles awaycausing breathing difficulties in even healthy individuals, not to mention children, older adults and those with heart disease, diabetes, asthma, COPD and other lung diseases. Take wildfire threats seriously and be prepared.
Persistently warmer temperatures in streams can accelerate natural chemical reactions and release excess nutrients into the water. 1 A streams water temperature can also influence the circulation or mixing patterns in the water it flows into, like bays and estuaries, potentially affecting nutrient levels and salinity.
