Streams

[Expect this page to be fully updated by September 2017]

When observing STREAMS, you might consider details such as….

– width
– depth
– length
– flow rate (easily measured with a stopwatch, measuring tape, and an orange or a tennis ball!)
– turbidity
– conductivity
– vegetation (stream bank, canopy, water column)
– visible habitats (e.g., pools, runs, riffles, etc.)
– evidence of human disturbance
– evidence of animals
