Some would describe it as marginal water.

I agree RyanR, the the educational aspect is most important, however particularly where the mentioned program is stating they are having water quality testing classes, etc springing off the TIC program, it would be nice if they put them in water where they have a chance of survival.

It would have been so cool to have had one of those set ups in school. There is a company that runs ads for what they call aquarium chillers in the mags. I checked out the website and those babies are very expensive , it would be cool to have a trout aquarium though.

Reefers use them to keep the water temperature reasonable under thousand watts of metal halide lighting. There's probably DIY plans out there somewhere, as a few years back people were trying to experiment with using small dorm-room refrigerator coils and the like to make lower cost units.
You think FF'ing is an expensive hobby, take a look at a cost breakdown on a minireef tank.
As for TIC, I don't think it matters WHERE they fish end up, as much as it shows people what you can do and gives them knowledge. The gift of learning to the kids far outweighs the effect of a few trout in a warming stream or an angler's creel.
Great victories are won with small gains.
