Data entered by: z Survey ID: 41

Step 1. Benchmark Location

Directions to Benchmark: we took benchmark cross section but ended up conducting flow studies a little further upstream where ww was 3.30 and depth measured 2 14 25 28 40 32 27 18 total 186 / 8 =23.25=0.23m

Step 2. Cross-Sectional Survey

Latitude: 50.92140 Longitude: -119.64600
Location relative to benchmark: at Photos Taken? no
Bankfull Channel Width: 5.20 Average Bankfull Depth: 73.44
Wetted Channel Width: 3.55 Average Wetted Depth: 16.33
Measurements taken every 1.00 metres Number of measurements taken: 9
