Stroubles Creek - StREAM Lab at Virginia Tech
Stroubles Creek is a stream located in the city of Blacksburg, VA. Our experimental reach is located between a crop field and animal pastures and is undergoing a restoration process. During the spring and summer months, there is an abundance of vegetation due to higher seasonal rainfall.The floodplain on which our experimentation took place was previously an oxbow. It's reach length is 27.6 meters, while it's width is (Nate). For the experiment, water was pumped from the stream and redirected onto the floodplain.
