The field trip aimed to study and understand streamflow and discharge, as well as physiochemical parameters, in order to assess the health and characteristics of two rivers. The research questions focused on determining the stream discharge for the Kefamo and Mafemo Rivers, comparing their flow rates and water volumes, and evaluating the physiochemical characteristics of the water bodies. The purpose of the field trip was to collect data and conduct analyses to better understand the rivers and their potential impacts on surrounding ecosystems and communities. The data collected has practical applications in assessing water availability, monitoring flood risks, managing water resources, and designing infrastructure. Understanding the physiochemical parameters offers insights into water quality, ecosystem health, and pollution levels. However, there were limitations in the field trip, including the use of a lemon as a floating device which may have introduced inaccuracies, and the need for more detailed instructions and guidance on data collection and calculations. Despite these limitations, the field trip successfully achieved its objectives of gathering data on stream discharge and physiochemical parameters, providing valuable information on the characteristics and health of the rivers.
