Hypotheses

• Beaver dams affect nearby chemical properties of
  streams. Larger dams will have a greater effect.
• Dissolved oxygen and pH will be lower upstream
  absorbance and conductivity will be higher
  upstream.

What will we do?!

• We will measure pH, conductivity, absorbancy,
  temperature, dissolved oxygen, water depth, and
  flow rate of a stream region 3m upstream,
  immediately on either side, and 3m downstream of
  beaver dams on Brown Creek. We will measure the
  height and width of the dams.
