some questions

This is interesting because it considers the active role of the stream on its surroundings. Will you look at how the stream has shaped the landscape, or whether it has ever caused significant flood damage? How have the effects of the stream on the region changed since the construction of the dam at Acton Lake (why was the dam constructed anyway?)?

Has the creek influenced local artists? I know there is one person who has been painting regional landscapes for years and has chosen to focus on covered bridges.

How do the sciences fit in here? What diverse habitats has the stream created? What is the ecology of these habitats? Has the stream influenced settlement patterns in the region?
Is the city of Oxford shaped by the stream in any way?

We can talk about these as your project develops.
