Last rainfall not specified. After the initial testing of Banyule Creek in the morning, it was decided to retest in the afternoon during actual rainfall conditions. As seen in the final results there was significant changes in phosphate levels and dissolved oxygen. Max had installed a stormwater crossover within the grounds which has made a considerable change in to the flow of runoff towards the bottom wetland and Banyule Creek. This I see will most likely produce cleaner water conditions at Banyule Creek due to less travelling time of the water runoff into the creek. A major improvement for future readings and bug diversity.
