March 10th – Field Trip & Canoeing

My Water Resource Management class went on a quick field trip to the Liesbeek River. It was really interesting to learn about the one meter on the river, the constructed wetlands, the struggle of up-keeping the river (homeless people and trash), and hopeful plans to make a little reservoir off of it.
I also went canoeing, and today was extra windy so it was hard to maneuver. I partnered up with a girl who has a prosthetic leg, so when we capsized it was quite difficult to empty the canoe. After paddling in circles in the duck pond, we attempted to go out in the large canal but did not make it far due to the waves from the wind. It was a mission getting back to shore!
