Measuring flow over time

Drive the stake into the bed next to an outside bank. Make your stake as inconspicuous as possible so that it doesn't get stolen!

Screen 7/11

If you can visit your stream regularly, you can see how its flow changes from day to day, week to week and month to month.

You need a stake marked off in cm (use a permanent marker).

Visit the stream regularly , record the height of water and the date. Plot a chart of height against date.
