stream+depth

You will work in your same groups again today in the same section of the stream. Your group will need a measuring stick and access to the 100m measuring tape. You will measure 5 different stream depths with the meter stick at different random spots in your 5m section. You should also measure the spot you believe to be the deepest section of your section. After you have all your data collected, total and average the depths to get an average depth for your section of stream. You will then use the measuring tape to measure the stream width at its largest point in your section. You will collect two different widths, the actual width and true width. The actual width is the water line to water line. The true width is the point where the water has risen to in the past to the same point on the other side.
