Last rainfall 2 weeks earlier. The creek is starting to dry up again with only several areas of decent water for sampling. Surface algae made it difficult for sampling. Water snails were only visible apart from hatched mozzy pupae. No water flow was apparent from the drain with little or no runoff from surrounding embankments. Chemical parameter readouts were still good despite the conditions.
