River fieldwork
Fieldwork was carried out with the help of four pupils from a local school. They demonstrated three activities that can be used to build up a database about any local stream or river. This can be compared with other locations while a further dimension can be added by carrying out the work at different times of year when rainfall might have influenced bedload, discharge and streamlife. The fieldwork activities:
- Stream discharge (illustrated above)
- Biotic index
- Bedload characteristics
