Materials/Equipment
|
In
order to conduct a survey you need all the items in the
following checklist:
A supply of survey forms
Your hand-drawn maps of your stream or stream section
Meter (yard) stick (preferably wooden one-metal ones can
be mounted on an old hockey stick. Be warned that the
ink on metal rulers can wash off if you have insect repellant
on your hands).
Celsius thermometer
Water sample bottles *****
Clip boards
Pencils
Orange flagging tape
Waterproof knapsack
Hip waders or rubber boots
Insect repellent
First aid kit winter survival kit, if applicable
Kit for testing pH (if available)
**** Use a clean, well-rinsed plastic bottle that has
a secure lid. It should be capable of holding about a
half a liter or 2 cups. Put a label on the bottle before
you leave for the stream and number the bottles (it's
hard to put numbers on wet bottles). If you prefer to
number the bottles in the field use masking tape and write
numbers on with a pencil or permanent marker. Make arrangements
to have the sample tested quickly or the pH can change.
