Draft 1: To Dam or Not to Dam

This topic submitted by Whitney Smith ( smithwa@muohio.edu ) on 1/23/03. [ Rivers Team: Whitney Smith-Section: Garrison/Green]

I would like to explore the effects of the dam at Acton Lake on 4 Mile Creek. To do so, I would test the creek water above and below the dam, as well as the lake water. This would provide information on both the scientific aspects and the effects on the people who live near the creek and the land. I would like to incorporate photography somehow, perhaps by photographing the water and the banks of the creek, to provide a visual of what some of the physical effects of the damming of the creek might be.
