  Interested students from Walker Valley High School, Charleston, Tennessee and their instructor, Brad Montgomery, have developed educational projects in cooperation with the Cherokee National Forest hydrologist, Mike Nicolo. Students are being trained to obtain stream discharge measurements by establishing the relationships between channel width, depth, and flow. This work would allow the eventual placement of a staff gauge, so that river discharge volumes could be determined from the bank. The Walker Valley students are also collecting measurements that can be useful in monitoring the effects of forest road management activity such as a bridge replacement. Students have collected samples of the macro invertebrate populations, evaluated chemical parameters, and done “pebble counts”. Panorama taken October 9, 2001 |
