Water clear but smelly, pools, starting to dry up. Last rainfall 8 weeks ago. Phosphate levels are on the rise. Although degraded, this shouldn't have a significant effect on the Swamp (Banyule Creek flows into Banyule Swamp) unless there is a major spell of rain to wash it downstream. Bug activity low with only 5 varieities recorded.
