Allie Shields: Explanation Of Physical Data

When it came to looking at the physical data of cloe lake, we had to find the stream temperature, air temperature, the stream velocity, and the stream's width and depth. In order to find the temperature of the stream we had to place a thermometer in an area in the water. But, preferably in a shady spot rather than sunny, or else the temperature would be inaccurate. To find the air temperature, we simply just held the top of the thermometer and made sure we were in a shady spot to find an accurate reading. But, remember to find the air temperature, make sure you don't hold the bottom of the thermometer or it will pick up some of your body heat from that and screw up the reading. In order to find the stream width we had a rope that was tied across the stream at our station we were at, and we measured how far from where the water stopped on each side of the stream. To find the stream depth, we had to................... Then, we had to find the stream velocity. In order to find the stream velocity you must make a starting and a finish line. Once you make those, we dropped a tennis ball in the water and timed how long it took from start to finish. Once we did this four different times, we then did the average speed of the stream.

Total: - Group 1: 256 - Group 2: 6.6 - Group 3: 1.2

Sum of rating value for Group 1 + Sum of rating for Group 2 + Sum of rating for Group 3 = Rating value for site

25.6 + 6.6 + 1.2 = 33.4

Stream Quality Rating 33.4= Fair

=Stream mapping (2)= In this section of the cloe lake project I will explain stream mapping. Stream mapping is when you mark the curves and contours of the stream and to see how its changed over time. In this we used string that was approximately 33cm long and staked it parellel to the stream following the contours of the stream. Every 3cm was marked with a close pin. Then with measuring tape, at every 3cm interval measured the width of the stream. Took measurements were the water met the ground on one side and the same on the other. After doing this at each interval we were able to graph the stream and are now able to compare it to years past and see how its changed.

=Forest Ecology (2)= AJ Meterko- Watersheds: Definitions and what watersheds do/contribute too -Water runs into Jackson Run based on water shed  A watershed is also known as a drainage basin, which is an extent of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water, such as a river, lake, reservoir, estuary, wetland, sea or ocean. The drainage basin includes both the streams and rivers that convey the water as well as the land surfaces from which water drains into those channels. In the technical sense, a watershed refers to a divide that separates one drainage area from another drainage area. Soil type will help determine how much water reaches the river. Certain soil types such as sandy soils are very free draining and rainfall on sandy soil is likely to be absorbed by the ground. Soils containing clay can be almost impermeable and therefore rainfall on clay soils will run off and contribute to flood volumes (like the pavement the guide told us about). After prolonged rainfall even free draining soils can become saturated, meaning that any further rainfall will reach the river rather than being absorbed by the ground.
