Tom's Creek
Nitrate = less than .2 (x4.4) ppm

pH = deep water: 7 ppm
       shallow water: greater than 8 ppm

Phosphate = less than .2 (x4.4) ppm


Air Temperature = 18
Water Temperature = 16.9
> Physical Data
Stream Width = 7.8m

Stream Depth:

Point A = .12m
Point B = .53m
Point C = .32m
Point D = .23m

Average Stream Depth = 
A + B + C + D = .30m
                                          4

Volume of Flow:

Volume of Flow = wdvc
     w = width
     d = depth
     v = velocity
     c = constant (.8 for rubble bottom or .9 for mud or sand bottom)

Stream Velocity:

Time at A = 17 sec.
Time at B = 18 sec.
Time at C = 17 sec.
Time at D = 20 sec.

A + B + C + D   = 18 Average Time
        4

Stream Velocity =
      5m          = .28 m/sec.
                        Average Time
wdvc = .4364
Average Water Usage:

Gallons/second = 264 x .4364
                  
= 38.6576 gallons/sec.

Gallons/minute =
gallons/sec.
                           60

Gallons/sec. =
gallons/sec.
                      3,600

Gallons/day =
gallons/sec.
                     86,400

Average Person in the United States uses 200 gallons of water per day.
