Q

Discharge =

A

Total volume of water flowing through channel at a given point

22
Q

Area of a river channel =

A

Cross sectional area

23
Q

Drainage basin =

A

Area from which water drains into river

24
Q

Velocity =

A

Speed of river (m/s)

25
Q

Watershed =

A

Drainage basin boundary

26
Q

Qualitative =

A

Non-numerical

27
Q

Quantative =

A

Numerical

28
Q

Primary qualitative data =

A

Site observations + field values

29
Q

Primary quantative data =

A

Cross section area, discharge, velocity

30
Q

Cross section area is worked out by:

A

Average width x average depth

31
Q

Discharge is worked out by:

A

Average velocity x cross section area (cumecs)

32
Q

What is used to present discharge and discharge from the source?

A

Line graph

33
Q

What is used to present velocity and distance from the source?

A

Line graph

34
Q

What is used to present the channel profile?

A

Drawing on graph

35
Q

Wha is the conclusion about the velocity?

A

As the distance from the source increases, the velocity increases

36
Q

What was issues with the river data?

A

Anomalous last result as bad site chosen

37
Q

What was good part of the river data?

A

Many results collected so hypothesis is proven

38
Q

What was the conclusion of the cross section?

A

It increases as you go down the river as higher velocity = higher erosion

39
Q

What were the risks with the river?

A

Slipping, stuck in mud, tripping, weather

40
Q

What was the question for the human geography?

A

The difference between the land use and the quality of environment between GBD to Southville

41
Q

What primary quantative data was collected in the city?

A

Decibels, environmental quality survey (go in table)

42
Q

What primary qualitative data was collected in the city?

A

questionnaire (word cloud), epitome words (radial graph), site description every 100 steps (radical graph), RICEPOTS (pie chart)

43
Q

What is the traffic, buildings, general quality and fern space like in the CBD in comparison to Southville?

A

Everything is higher in the CBD

44
Q

What was the most and least common types of buildings in the CBD?

A

Commercial = high, open space + services = low

45
Q

What was the most and least common types of buildings in Southville?

A

Residential = high, open space + services = low

46

Run down, busy

47
Q

What are the 2 main words said about Southville?

A

Pubs, dirty

48
Q

What was the noise levels like in the city?

A

CBD = 65, S = 60

49
Q

What were 4 issues with the city data?

A

Bias questionnaire, had to guess building age, EQS was only done in one area, no word options

50
Q

What where 4 good things about the city data?

A

Easy to use decibel app, quick, easy to answer questions, RICEPOTS is descriptive

51
Q

What does RICEPOTS mean?

A

Residential, industrial, commercial, entertainment, public building, open space, transport, services

52
Q

What were the risks with the city?

A

Weather, traffic, public
