As we had lost our equipment basket, we were rushing to finish and take our result and the rush
could have caused us to get some anomalous results. This will make it fair, as sometimes the flow of
water is greater than other times. To conduct my research I visited Loughton Brook in Epping Forest.
More material in the water should result in more erosion and make the channel deeper. As we move
further downstream the majority of pebbles have either a 4 or 5 roundness total. We used this
technique so that we could use the results to draw a hydrograph and see the shape of the banks and
bed. As you can see from the graph there is an anomaly at site 10. These 5 graphs can be related to
the graphs of the Width so that as the width increases as we move further downstream. Since then
the forest has been protected for its wildlife interest and. A river has surplus energy as it flows from
the upper course and begins to meander, this uses up the river’s energy. Since then the forest has
been protected for its wildlife interest and as a place for recreation. We made three readings at each
site but at equal distance. We chose to calculate the gradient, as it is a key feature of rivers
efficiency. The limitation for the data is quite low, as we didn't have time to take more results down.
When we collected our 'low flow' the water level of the river was quite low as it hadn't. As it is
situated in a hilly area there is a high chance of there being a lot of relief rain. We used this technique
so that we could use the results to draw a hydrograph and see the shape of the banks and bed. A
river and its tributaries acquire water from the surrounding land called the drainage basin. To
measure the gradient we used an 'automatic level5. To measure the pebble sizes we took 10 random
samples from each site and for each pebble we recorded its length, roundness and sphericity. These
measurements tell us the more reasonable width and depth. Its 100m metres above sea level at the
source and 10m above sea level at the confluence 5. It is a perfect miniature example of a
meandering river system. Erosion on the outside of the bend and deposition on the inside of the bend
will eventually lead to the formation of an ox-bow lake. I think that the data I gathered was more
than enough to help me investigate the two key questions. From my basic observation I have found
out that as the river moves downstream it becomes increasingly wider. It is mandatory to procure user

downstream the width and depth of the river increases enabling it to carry more water and increases
the efficiency. Sphericity From looking at these pie charts There is a gradual decrease in Low
sphericity as we move downstream and there is a gradual increase in high Sphericity. As you can see
from this graph as the Channel Roughness increases the Velocity Decreases.
The key questions are relevant to the aim because the pebble size is used to answer the sediment
change and the other aspects that I am investigating are towards efficiency change. LOCATION.
NW to NNW of Ilford County High School. This data can be accounted for the river meandering.
We chose to calculate the width, as it is a key feature of rivers efficiency. We chose to calculate the
pebble size, as it is a key feature of rivers sediment. This proves that the gradient decreases as we go
downstream. Rees returns to the pylon that sparked his edgeland obsession. I need information about
the river with a detailed map of the area. Then we will see whether the data collected was enough to
complete the investigation and to answer the set key questions. The longer that they have been
transported, the smoother they are as they have spent the maximum time in the water being rounded.
Systematic - With this method sampling points are evenly distributed or spaced in a regular fashion
across the study area Stratified - This method is preferred when the study area clearly includes
significantly different groups I used stratified to choose my sites, as they were all clearly different
from each other. The sediment become smaller and rounded as we move downstream From my
sediment graphs I found out that as we move downstream the roundness becomes smoother which
supports my aim and prediction. We took ten samples so that we could work out an average. I
identified 1 major anomaly (1200, 0.28). This may have been invasion of the river channel by
vegetation. This data supports the hypothesis made at the beginning of the investigation. To extend
the study I could have investigated the changes in valley shape. The pebble got smaller in size as we
move further downstream which again proves that the river does become more efficient and the
sediment become smaller and rounder. If the depth increases as we make our way downstream that
means that the river is carrying more water so this again will prove that the river becomes more
efficient as it moves downstream. On the edge of greater London conurbation which stands on the
river Thames Epping Forest is found. A river may erode by one of four processes: Attrition, hydraulic
action, corrasion and corrosion. The pebble got smaller in size as we move further downstream which
again proves that the river does become more efficient and the sediment become smaller and rounder.
The height of left bank is less in site 2 then in site 1. The forest lies on a ridge between the valleys of
the river Lea and Roding. Pebble Analysis (recording sheet) - this will be used in the data
presentation as it is a Results sheet Main recording sheet - this will be used in the data presentation
as it is a results sheet All the sheets that I obtained as secondary data was given to me by the staff at
the Epping Forest Field Centre and my school Geography Teacher. As we move downstream the
depth of the river increases. It is on a watershed separating two drainage basins. I think that this
project is a snapshot study because I didn't go into full detail with the analysis. For velocity we could
have taken a reading three times and then worked out an average to get a more accurate reading.
Channel Roughness By Velocity Graph The graph above shows the Channel Roughness by Velocity.
We used this technique so that we could use the results to draw a hydrograph and see the shape of
the banks and bed. Epping Forest Forum does not make any warranties or accept liability about the

The catchment is long, thin and approximately 11km long 4. We wore Wellington boots and
waterproof clothing to keep us dry while we were in the water. If the depth increases as we make our
way downstream that means that the river is carrying more water so this again will prove that the
river becomes more efficient as it moves downstream. In this section of my coursework I and
constructing the graphs which then I closely analyse for any sequences or patterns or any anomalies.
While testing for velocity the stretch of river tested was cleared of leaf litter. This again shows the
increase of the efficiency of the river. As we move downstream the depth of the river increases. We
chose to calculate the velocity, as it is a key feature of rivers efficiency. Features of the upper and
middle course can be noted from Loughton Brook. There fore this may cancel out with the decrease
in gradient. We chose to calculate the pebble size, as it is a key feature of rivers sediment. My final
hypothesis is that the river floods downstream more than upstream. The key questions are relevant to
the aim because the pebble size is used to answer the sediment change and the other aspects that I
am investigating are towards efficiency change. LOCATION. NW to NNW of Ilford County High
School. The most rewarding aspect of my study was receiving the results that were geographically
correct. The limitation for the data is quite low, as we didn't have time to take more results down. Its
mainly high land so there will be a lot of surface run off. 0. The soil is much more dense upstream
than downstream, which enable surface runoff to take place upstream and form the source of the
river 1. He has worked with Luke Turner of the Quietus, providing field recordings to accompany
readings on the Caught by the River stage at Port Eliot Festival and supporting DarrenHayman at a
secret show in a forest. We chose to calculate the gradient, as it is a key feature of rivers efficiency.
The most useful aspect of my study was my Analysis as it helped me with my comparisons and
helped me to come to a conclusion. Loughton brook Location of Loughton brook Loughton Brook is
located on the ordinance survey sheet 177. The investigation was carried out in groups to speed up
the investigation due to the time constraints of the field trip. As the mover across the river bed they
the friction between the bed and the pebble cause both the river to erode and the pebbles to become
rounded. The most useful aspect of my study was my Analysis as it helped me with my comparisons
and helped me to come to a conclusion. I think that the data I gathered was more than enough to
help me investigate the two key questions. In the upper course the river has a lot of potential energy
and is trying to reach base level, hence the main process is erosion. This is human error which makes
it harder for us to analyse and comment on. We chose to calculate the depth, as it is a key feature of
rivers efficiency. It also made my group work faster which means there could have been a chance of
human error. As the mover across the river bed they the friction between the bed and the pebble
cause both the river to erode and the pebbles to become rounded. First dog walkers and families,
then the sounds of suburban Loughton and finally the muted roar of the M11.
The north and south sections of the M25 orbital motorway are linked by the Queen Elizabeth II
Bridge and a second crossing at the same point as the Dartford Tunnel. If the gradient increases as
we go downstream the water will be traveling at a high speed this means that more water will travel
through and again will prove that the river becomes more efficient as we go downstream. This data
can be accounted for the river meandering. The area of Epping forest is part of the green belt land
that forms a ring around the conurbation of Greater London. Due to its popularity there is great
demand for land in this area for housing, out-of-town shopping centers and retail parks and roads.
The relationships between these two features are fairly strong. We chose to calculate the width, as it
is a key feature of rivers efficiency. It is approximately 18km long by 4km wide, but is considerably
narrower in most places. This is because sometimes there was some leaf litter in the river restricting
the cork from flowing with the water. ANALYSIS OF RIVER EFFICIENCY To answer my key
questions I have gathered the appropriate information to construct graphs and analyse them. The
drainage basin acts like a funnel collecting water and sending it to the river channel. The study of
river systems is important because as well as being able to understand the development of natural
land features that can help with flood predictions and defences it also enables us to understand
where mineral deposits can be found. Loughton is the closest settlement South East of the Epping
Forest Field Centre 9. For velocity we could have taken a reading three times and then worked out
an average to get a more accurate reading. We then measured each ones height and width and kept a
record of its roundness and sphericity. As you can see from the graph there is an anomaly at site 10.
From the evidence that I have gathered I can now state that the river becomes more efficient as we
move downstream. Therefore the particle will be trapped by the vegetation which means that there
will be a lot of vegetation in that area. These 5 graphs can be related to the graphs of the Width so
that as the width increases as we move further downstream. Another minor problem was, when we
were trying to calculate the velocity some leaf litter slowed the cork down, Problems with the data
The problems with the data occurred because we had problems collecting the data. Discharge by Dis
from S Graph The graph above shows the Discharge by Distance from source. Its 100m metres above
sea level at the source and 10m above sea level at the confluence 5. We used the velocity experiment
three times so that we can find out its average velocity. This again shows the increase of the
efficiency of the river. I then got background information from the website so that I wouldn't miss
any key fact. We chose to calculate the pebble size, as it is a key feature of rivers sediment. Then we
will see whether the data collected was enough to complete the investigation and to answer the set
key questions. Erosion on the outsides of the meander removes interlocking spurs, a feature of the
valley profile in the upper course. Again this graph provides me with the evidence I need to prove
my predictions. Discharge by Dis from S Graph The graph above shows the Discharge by Distance
from source.
