• As can be observed in the Figures 10, 11 and 12, the River Width stayed the same throughout the course of the investigation, whereas all the other variables were affected due to forces impacted upon by the tourist flow associated with these time periods. The river width is a factor that is influenced at an extremely slow rate by the erosive effects of varying speeds of water flow. Therefore, the river width does not act as an indicator as to the degree of pollution created by tourist flow. The temperature of the rivers did not vary too much because of the thermal properties of water. As water has a very high heat capacity15, and a high heat of vaporization, the amount of energy required to change the temperature is so large, that even when the atmospheric temperature changes by around 10˚C, the temperature of water only changes by around 3˚C.

Geography Students write the Reports on their investigation individually.They form hypothesis and analyse the results.The Fieldwork Reports are part of their International Baccalaureate Geography Course Internal Assessment.
