Depth

We are currently trying to develop a topographical map showing variations in depth of the creek. Our intention is to work with both math and physical science classes to compile such a map. At this time our method of measuring depths is crude but effective. A single meterstick works fine for most areas throughout most of the year. During the winter when there is significant increases in rate of flow and depth, two or more meter sticks are taped together as shown above. The area being measured was over 1.5 meters. Most of the year the same area is about 0.4 meters.
