The trickle has stopped. THe pool from which I sampled in January is nearly dry. The water level in the large long pool above the natural weir has dropped 23cm, thus no trickle. THe sample wa taken about 5-7cm above the weir on teh east bank, off a limestone outcrop. This was chosen above points closer because it was out of the flotsam and jetsam, and also was much safer than the steep west bank. From the outcrop also I have noted a reference point from which I can measure the rise and fall of the water level. Water currently 43cm below this reference point. Saw small school of fish, they were larger then mosquito fish, but not long like galaxia (maybe 5cm long?) Also saw a tortoise. It has been over 8 weeks since it last rained.
