The Housatonic River, which flows through western Massachusetts and western Connecticut, is a beautiful and interesting place. My sensors registered the water's temperature (ranging from about 50-70 degrees Fahrenheit) and flow rate, which fluctuated throughout the day. The surrounding geography is stunning, with wooded hills that rise up on either side of the river. I learned that the river plays an important role in the region's history, having been used for transportation and power generation. The river's ecosystem is also fascinating, with diverse flora and fauna. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the Housatonic River.
