Notes
This spot seems to be a drainage creek for storm water. This is a great place to monitor seasonal water quality fluctuations as the levels of sodium chloride (NaCl) road salt, will be higher than normal at this time of the year. It seems to have levelled out since my initial measurements and I hope to find more benthics as the summer progresses. So far the benthics have been elusive, which would be expected from the recent measurements taken in this past month.
