Will O’Neil Watershed Reflection

  1. In this picture, we found a culvert traveling under River Road near East Campus.
  2. In this picture, I noticed that the culvert did not have any water near it at all, and I assume that all of the water had evaporated over time. Due to no recent rain at the time, the culvert was still dry.
  3. When looking at this picture, I wondered what it would look like if we had gotten lots of rain a few days before the scavenger hunt. I think someone would look at this and assume that it is a drain, but I do not think the average person would assume that it helps carry water all the way to the other side of East Campus through an underground system.
  4. When looking at this picture, I feel relaxed due to the fact that I now know how our campus transports water back to the Lilly Branch, and then eventually the North Oconee River.
  5. I think that this picture is meant to show people that without knowing it, water is being transported underneath places that we visit every day, such as East Campus.
