Nicole and I will be participating in the 2021 Summer Research Symposium at Virginia Tech on Thursday (7/29)! If you are a member of the VT community and would like to view our presentation and ask any questions, self-enroll in the conference site at canvas.vt.edu/enroll/6W3PDF.
We went out to the field site and collected cross-sectional data with the Auto-Level and Philadelphia Rod again! The two graphs below show the cross-section of the stream before and after the major flooding event that occurred on July 1st.
On July 1st, we experienced a major flooding event! The system was completely submerged under the water, and we are still working to get the Sonde back up and running.
We are collecting FlowTracker data of the baseflow to compare the velocity with the data collected from the runoff events!
Yesterday, I witnessed an illicit discharge event on-site. Only 5 minutes prior to when this picture was taken, the water was clear. VT Site and Infrastructure Development was contacted to further investigate.
