And oh. We were decked out in waterproof suits, plus wellington boots. We were totally being the fashion icons of the year. Geographer Vogue, as my non-geography friend pointed out recently.
It was really fun doing hydrology fieldwork at Afon Synfywry (I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW TO SPELL OH MY), as there isn't any "natural" river here in Singapore. Although the river is more like a stream, but it still has upper course, middle and lower courses, with waterfalls and meanders!
There was a lot of walking, which Juliana detested and still hates. We saw some ponies, and our tutor fed them with grasses! As usual, it got super hot in the afternoon. One very important lesson learnt while in Wales is to know layering, in terms of clothing...anyway. At the middle course of the river, not only did we measure the velocity of the river, the depth and width of the river channel, we also studied the organisms in the river! It was really amazing because the river water looked so clear, yet when we scooped out some water and placed them in the white tray, there were tiny organism in the water! One group even caught a small fish haha! The unfortunate thing was that I walked to a relatively deeper part of the river, and I almost fell. Thankfully I didn't, but the water went into my wellies and my socks got wet ew.
As we got back to the FSC, I went around taking more photos as it was our last day at the FSC and Wales. :(
Yeah that's all for this post, as I can't really remember everything...I SHOULD'VE BLOGGED EARLIER HAHAHA. Here are the photos :)
