The water level was 33cm below my reference point, 26cm lower than when last monitored. The water today looked a bit ordinary, with a light oily film and lots of slime building up. Also lots of mosquito fish (gambusia). There has been no rain in the area for almost 2 weeks now, and temperatures these last 5 days have exceeded 30degC.
