I'm inclined to believe it's the temperature rise rather than the UV, otherwise the top 6" of every stream and lake would be sterile.
The top 6" of streams is constantly being mixed with the water below it.
It'd be easy enough to test if it were the heat or the UV by taking to samples of the water, subject one to heat matching the temperature that the one in the sun reaches.
