On Tuesday March 13, 2012, we tested the streams clarity and temperature. We found that the temperature of the water varied between 9 and 12.5 degrees Celsius. The lakes temperature was around 11.11 degrees Celsius. This could have been due to the wind coming from the southwest. Therefore, it was colder out in the lake rather than in the Ravine where it was calm and mild. As we tested the clarity of the stream, we found that after the riffles it was 35 cm which is the most clear it could be. We also found that it was least clear in the pools of the stream, with the clarity at 19. This is due to stagnant waters in pooling. The lake's clarity was 12. This is because there is more wind and sediment in the lake and there arent any riffles to naturally filter the waters.
