To sum up the Science project I think that I did very well and I am interested that my hypothesis worked out well. My hypothesis worked because I thought that the volume of water in the stream will relate to the volume of rainfall and that the width and depth of rainfall will increase after rain. I also so found some very interesting facts on stream if you look here. I found:
· That rainfall effects the depth and width of streams; in other words the volume of water in the stream increases after rain.
· Sometimes falling leaves and branches block the stream further up hill and that prevents the stream from having a clear flow.
· Heavy rain washes away the leaves and branches and clears the stream but if the storm water pipes are blocked the stream floods and goes into the neighbours backyards and wild life in the stream can get stranded and a property could get damaged.
It was interesting founding about so many lost secrets about some of the Eastbourne streams such as there use to be trout and fish about 4 inches long and you could fish for them, but further up stream some painters cleaned there brushes and that ended up poisoning the trout and fish. I hope people will learn from my Science project and protect our Eastbourne streams.
