Understanding the Landscape Case Study Module 3: The Connecticut River Study Questions The Connecticut River illustrates the concept of landscape connectivity at multiple scales. There is the connectivity between the river and its associated uplands, the connec- tivity within the river network (mainstem and tributaries). and the connectivity between freshwater and saltwater (Connecticut River flows into Long Island Sound). First, think of a large river in a part of the country that is familiar to you. Consider a large river in a part of the country that is familiar to you. For the following questions, compare your familiar river and the Connecticut River. 1. Water quality in rivers is affected by specific land uses in the uplands. a. What are the major upstream land uses affecting the Connecticut River and your fa- miliar river? b. What materials and organisms move downstream in the two rivers? Upstream Are historical pattems of movement still in place? If not, what has changed?

Explanation / Answer

B. River moves from the land of high relief to the low where the slope is the guiding element which control the movement of the water along with that it caries the loose sediment with it self and use to deposited it at the suitable places where it gets suitable places or the places of the low energy condition’s . When considering the movement of the water in the stream it have have always changed its course of flow of water, this was mainly caused by the deposition of the loose particles from the bead load which gets deposited along the blanks during any flood time.
