1. Water It was wet!

2. pH pH measures the acidity or alkalinity of water. We tested pH of the Huntington River, Sherman Brook, and rainwater. We collected this data several times over the week.

3. We found that the pH of the river and brook was very close to neutral, averaging 7.1.

4. Velocity We measured the velocity in meters/sec. Velocity is best measured at a 6/10 depth.

5. Volume To find the volume we took the cross- sectional area and multiplied it by the velocity (m^2 * ( m/sec. ) ).

6. Conductivity Relative capability of a material to allow electrical current pass through.

7. Turbidity The amount of suspended soils in the water

8. Dissolved Oxygen dO 2 depends on how cold, and how fast the water is moving. The stream had a high dO 2 level where as the vernal pool was very low.

9. HA!HA!HA!HA!!

10. River/stream surroundings/terrain We used rhodamine dye to show the flow of the river. Explained the difference between cut bank and a point bar. Plateaus form over time.

11. Sediments/ Stream Debris Larger sediments cause more friction which make the water move slower.

12. Human Impact Making trails through the forests causes runoff to get to the streams.
