= = = Mr. James Smallwood: = = = = = = On the 25 Mr. James Smallwood came into room 14 to talk to the year 7 and 8's. He talked to us about dairy farming and the water qualities, I learnt a lot about cows and how dairy farming works and what is causing so much pollution in streams and rivers near by farms. I never new that a cow drank 80 L a day per cow. Mr. Smallwood had three samples of different rivers/streams. One jar was the river that entered his farm, one that exited his farm and one from our school creak. The water quality of his farm streams/rivers were better than our school creak. He told us all about irrigation, Mr. Smallwood told us that whenever something goes wrong with the irrigation he gets a message on his phone letting him know then he can get someone to fix the problem. Mr. Smallwood explained to us that the main cause of pollution in streams/rivers are when the cattle go and have a drink they stand on banks which causes the bank to collapse into the water making it dirty. Mr. Smallwood said that he has a pool in his back yard and that everyday one cow drinks two of his pools. (The pool is 40L). =
