As a part of the study of Geography in Stage 4, Year 8 students walked down to the river to collect data on the way the river changes with land use.

We were lucky with the weather - choosing the perfect day for our fieldwork. Students analysed qualities of the Tumut River at a number of sites, including pH, water temperature and turbidity. We also observed the land use in the surrounding area, the vegetation present and human impacts such as pollution.
