1. What is the drainage area (in mi?) of the Great Miami River Watershed? To find this

Question

information, right-click on the "Great_Miami_Watershed" layer and select "Properties →

Measurements".

2. Which US states are located within the watershed?

3. How many miles is UD from the nearest watershed drainage divide (use the Ruler Tool)? Is

this relatively near or far from the divide?/n5. Right-click the "Main_Stem" layer and select "Show Elevation Profile". Use the profile to

obtain the following measurements.

Total length of the Great Miami River

Maximum channel elevation:

Outlet elevation:

Total channel relief (Maximum channel elevation - outlet elevation) =

6. Most rivers exhibit a concave profile with steeper slopes upstream and shallower slopes

downstream (see below). Is this true of the Great Miami River? If not, how does the slope differ

from a normal river?

8. For each chart, what information is being plotted?

9. For each chart, describe the relationship between the two variables. What do you think causes

these relationships?/n11. The graph is currently set to show discharge data over the past seven days. How does the

current discharge compare to the last week?

12. Change the graph setting to view data from the last 30 days. How does the current discharge

compare to the last month? How would you describe the pattern of discharge over the past

month? What do you think causes the discharge to suddenly increase about once every 1-2

weeks?

13. Change the graph setting to view data from the last year. How does the current discharge

compare to the last year? During which months was the discharge the highest? The lowest?

Why do you think this is?
