Observation 4/4/09: The flow/trickle appears to be coming from the East Moorabool River branch. Although I could not see any signs of the East Moorabool R flowing up at the Ballark Egerton Rd bridge. There is a definite flow where it joins with the West Moorabool R. The EC and pH 200 m upstream on the West Branch before it reaches the East Branch is EC 1200 pH7.4. There is no flow in the West Branch of Moorabool River.
