Toby Fu Watershed Reflection

  1. In this picture, I see a large culvert where the river flows through. On the edges toward me and across me was massive erosion of the banks.
  2. It really struck me how the erosion scarred the landscape. There were exposed roots from the trees and bushes. The large culvert also surprised me, the structure clearly man-made in an otherwise natural environment.
  3. This picture made me feel that some of the water branches have been designed poorly. I had walked past this area before during heavy raining and noticed some incredibly powerful torrents flowing through there. On another occasion, I noticed a huge area of earth had crumbled down into the water. I feel that people walking past this would also be shocked at how the land just gave into the water. It just wouldn’t appear like a clean water branch.
  4. When I look at the image, it makes me feel uncomfortable. To me, the edges of the bank shouldn’t be so eroded. The large culvert also does not look good in it’s surrounding.
  5. I think this picture is about problems with the erosion of the landscape, with how the branches of water currently flow on campus.
