    You've got a great outline. May be too ambitious, but it's a good start, and maybe it's not.
    I would focus on rivers/streams/creeks, rather than lakes if we do the natural sediments because that's where we have the flow over head creating the hyporheic exchange I study. And there should be plenty of non-lake choices.
