TORDERA RIVER STUDY
Geographical field trips for schools

The study of rivers and their systems is an important part of many geography curriculums and is often conducted via practical exercises carried out in the field. In addition, this type of fieldwork provides an excellent opportunity to teach data-taking skills and concepts whose use goes beyond that of simple geographical studies (e.g. the importance of standardising units and methodologies).

Use of measuring tapes, flowmeters, clinometres, etc. to describe three different points on the course of the river Tordera.
