Yes, yanking heat out of a river will cool it down, possibly to a material degree.

But ... power and industrial plants inject heat *into* rivers via cooling water.

Is there potential for use of such systems downstream as a form of mitigation? What is the allowable temperature increase in released cooling water over that taken in, or example?

Probably more applicable to smaller facilities than large power plants.

I used to live near Three Mile Island, they dumped a lot of heat into the river once.]]>
