What are the aims of the study? i.e. What do you hope to learn/find out? The aims of our study were to measure and analyse the changing characteristics of a river as it travels downstream, and to obtain "primary data". The aims were to find out how channel characteristics such as gradient, angularity and load size change downstream and the flow characteristics, such as velocity and discharge change downstream. We collected primary data by visiting River Ballymully. Measurements were taken and carefully recorded at each study site. 2. Identify 4-5 HYPOTHESES to test (a statement to test) 1) The gradient of the river decreases with distance from the source. 2) The velocity of the river decreases with distance from the
