The Aim of Study What Depositional Features are formed along the Swift River channel from Hope Road to Bloom Field Portland Jamaica?
Methodology The primary data of this study was collected on a field visit to the Swift river in Hope Bay, Portland, Jamaica(see map of Jamaica) on November 2, 2011 the weather conditions for the day was fair with a few citrus clouds and strong winds. Three (3) sites were selected to be observed in the lower and middle course of the Swift River. At each site the depositional land form were analysed and identified. Multiple measurements were made and recorded. The three (3) sites that were studied can be identified on a map (topographical sheet, scale 1:50) and their sizes were determined using one scale of the map and also information recorded at the site. Sample of the sediment that was found at locality one (1) were collected random, by the students taking up a piece of rock without looking. These were placed on a study board were the long and l short axis of the sediments were measured by the use of large ruler and tape measure then the samples were recorded. The velocity at these localities two and three were obtained by measuring the velocity (speed) of the river. This was done by two students standing in the river from top to bottom. A bottle filled with water was then placed in the river to float. A distance was measured at 15m with a tape measure, the time the bottle took to float and
