After the intial testing in Banyule Creek in the morning it was decided to retest in the afternoon during actual rainfall conditions. As seen by the final results, there are significant changes in phosphate and dissolved oxygen levels. Max had installed a stormwater crossover within the grounds which has made a condiderable change to the flow of runoff towards the bottom wetland and the Banyule Creek. This I see will most likely produce cleaner water conditions at the Banyule Creek due to less travelling time of water runoff into the creek. A major improvement for future readings and bug diversity. This sample was collected from direct flowing water out of the stormwater drain adjacent the creek. This flow travels through various drains, channels and land vegetation within the grounds.
