Some additional thoughts

Hi Libby:

Take a look at "Guide to Ohio Streams" map to get a sense of the Creek's source and its confluence with the Great Miami below Trenton. You might want to look at some index (conductivity, DO, nitrogen, etc) of water quality along the stream, from beginning to end, and see how this is influenced by various land use patterns.For example, how does water quality change as the stream flows through Oxford? You might place this within the larger context of urban influences on water quality, generally. Or, how does the nitrogen content vary with distance of flow through farm fields, especially during planting season?

Are there aesthetic differences along the water course? Usually we think of the headwaters of a stream as being aesthetically pleasing compared with its lower reaches, when it has been affected by farms and cities. Is this true in the case of 4-Mile?
