Indicator Assessment Water temperature (CLIM 019) - Assessment published Nov 2012
Water temperatures in major European rivers have increased by 1–3 °C over the last century. Several time series show increasing lake and river temperatures all over Europe over the last 60 to 90 years. Lake and river surface water temperatures are projected to increase with further projected increases in air temperature. Increased temperature can result in marked changes in species composition and functioning of aquatic ecosystems.

Indicator Assessment Water temperature (CLIM 019) - Assessment published Sep 2008
During the last century the water temperature of some European rivers and lakes increased by 1-3 o C, mainly as a result of air temperature increase, but also locally due to increased inputs of heated cooling water from power plants. In line with the projected increases in air temperature, lake surface water temperatures may be around 2 o C higher by 2070.
