EROSION PROJECT
Instructions for data collection: use the data sheet attached
1. Complete the NAME and DATE spaces
2. Start at location 1 (Sandy Bottom)
3. Note GPS coordinates on data sheet
4. Using north arrow/scale stick, take photographs 1-2 of study area – see data sheet
5. Identify the outside of a stream bend
6. Using the scale stick and north arrow photograph the outside stream bend (photograph 3)
7. Identify an area of stream bank undercutting (e.g., tree root exposure)
8. Photograph stream bank undercutting (photograph 4)
9. Identify the inside of a stream bend
10.Using the scale stick and north arrow photograph the inside stream bend (photograph 5)
11. Identify steam deposition on the inside bend and photograph (photograph 6)
12.Move to location 2 (milepost marker 2)
13.Note GPS coordinates on data sheet
14.Move down the bank as far the stream level will allow and photograph riprap (photographs 7 &
8)
15.Move to location 3 (Bare Root Place)
16.Note GPS coordinates on data sheet
17.Locate the bare earth leading to Bare Root Place
18.Pull the large tape the full length of the eroded spot
19.Using the small tapes, measure the extent of the eroded area and sketch on the graph paper
20.Take a photograph of the area that includes the large tape and north arrow (photograph 9)
21.Take a photograph of the exposed tree roots (photograph 10)

CHANNEL FORM PROJECT
Instructions for data collection: use the data sheet attached
1. Complete the NAME, LOCATION, and DATE spaces
2. Using north arrow/scale stick, take photographs 1-3 of study area – see data sheet
3. One group member make your way up onto the opposite bank, pulling the large tape with you
4. Pull the tape taut across the channel
5. Secure the end of the tape with a large nail or hold in place if necessary, keeping the tape as level as
possible across the channel
6. A second group member sketches a line representing the large tape across the top of the graph paper
7. The third group member enters the creek and measures the height from the tape to the bottom of the
channel at intervals of 20 cm across the stream
8. The second group member notes these heights on the graph paper to scale
9. The fourth group member notes the measurements on the data sheet
10.The fourth group member takes two photographs of measurements being taken (photographs 4 and 5)
EXAMPLE OF HOW TO CREATE SCALE DRAWING OF CHANNEL FORM
11. Use the flow meter to measure stream flow

WATER PROPERTIES PROJECT
Instructions for data collection: use the data sheet attached
1. Complete the NAME and DATE spaces
2. Note GPS coordinates for Location 1 (Sandy Bottom)
3. Take photographs 1-2 (see data sheet)
4. Use the beaker to remove water from the stream

to clean the probes with distilled water)
6. Move to mid-steam in the channel and measure the flow
7. Note the characteristics of Location 1 (is channel bed sediment or rock? Is it an area where a second
channel joins the stream? –note these conditions on the data sheet)
8. Move to Location 2 (Milepost Marker 2) and repeat steps 2-7
9. Move to location 3 (Retention Pond) and repeat steps 2-7
