Last rainfall 7 weeks ago. A significant drop in salinity result was recorded this month, but this is only short term I believe. The water level at the test site is less than 0.3 metres. Noticed a big reduction in mayfly, stonefly and blackfly larvae. Oxygen levels are still high, giving the creek a healthy State. Further upstream, bug activity is high.
