WEEK 5

It was unfortunate that whilst at camp we experienced bad weather.
As some of the photos show, it didn't rain all of the time and students were able to join in with planned activites. Three groups were able to test the water downstream of the outlet. We all found a pH of 7, a temperature of 10 degrees C, banks were stable although very muddy where we entered, the water was moving (not stagnant), and using the clarity tube we could see the water was clear. From this data we should have been able to find macro-invertebrates but we found none....why?
