- River Holford conclusion
- Overall results
- Overall I found that velocity increased over 500% downstream fro 3km along the river Holford
- Gradient changes did not seem to influence velocity and the cross-sectional area only had a small influence
- Changes in the hydraulic radius seem to be the key factor
- Evaluation
- Overall I am happy with conclusions as we had a large data set (we had many groups)
- I am confident the velocity + channel broudly changed as our data said it it + it fits the model and theories about how rivers work
- I am particularly happy with met cross sectional area which is quite accurately measured and is reliable
- I am confident the velocity + channel broudly changed as our data said it it + it fits the model and theories about how rivers work
- However I am unhappy with the gradient data
- It could be inaccurate. It did get flatter downstream but my results could be more accurate
- However these are small errors and the general trend is true
- It could be inaccurate. It did get flatter downstream but my results could be more accurate
- Overall I am happy with conclusions as we had a large data set (we had many groups)
- What could I do better next time
- More measurements between sites
- Continue measurements to the sea to see if they stay the same
- Repeat the study after heavy rainfall and see the difference
- Could measure the rock size and shape in the river to see if it influenced the friction + velocity
- Overall results
