Geography fieldwork -Afon Angof River. GEOG2: GCE Geography UNit 2 - for if you don't have a fieldwork study

Model FieldWork Day - Afon angof, Pembrokeshire

Aim: To investigate how the afon Angof changes with distance downstream

Purpose: Measure the channel parameters along certain points of the river

Hypotheses: Velocity will increase downstream
                    Cross-Sectional area will increase with distance downstream
                    The hydraulic radius will increase with distance downstream
                     Based on Bradshaw model of how channel parameters change with distance downstream
