Site Survey

This is the survey for site 1 at Douglas creek 2011. The names of the observers are: TJ, Kylee and Jocelyn. Now we surveyed the artificial structure here. First there were huge culverts. A culvert is a vary large tunnel/hole that would drain water in case of a flood.
Next I will tell you about bank stability. Bank stability is like erosion and telling how much. At our site there was erosion in some areas. Now I will tell you about the stream reach. The vegetation cover on the bank was moderate. The artificial protection was 0%.
Further more I will now tell you about along side stream reach. So we found a road when we climbed up a hill. It had tire tracks on it so we know it was used. It was not a gravel road it was a dirt road. This is vegetation cover it was moderate. Moderate means medium. We also surveyed protection. Protection is about 0-25%. And that is protection. Another thing we surveyed was over head canapé is )-25% there were vary little trees growing over the water and that is the over head canapé. Now the channel, flat bottom and steep side. Finally I will tell you about the reach habitat. Here is the number of riffles the # of pools is three. The % of riffles is was 20% woody debris was none organic debris was sparse. And that’s reach habitat.
