ENVS117/ENVS602: Hydrology of Urban Streams-Scientific Report Assignment

Internal Code: MAS369

Scientific Report Assignment:

Question: 1) As part of the introduction - What are the characteristics of stream flow (hydrology) in urban environments? 2) As part of the results - Using the results of your calculations, explain how changing roughness impacts on stream flow hydrology in an urban stream? 3) As part of the discussion-Assume that the aim of urban stream restoration is to reduce flow velocity to improve public safety,minimise sediment erosion and improve physical structure (i.e. geomorphology). What types of restoration/rehabilitation can be undertaken to achieve these aims? 4) As part of the discussion - What might be some additional benefits of undertaking urban stream restoration (e.g. on stream ecology and/or water quality)?
