Yes, I realise that the DO is bizarre but that's what the meter gave. The pH is unusually high and the conductivity is very high for the creek, as it was last month. The creek level is very low. Could there have been a pollution event during the recent school holidays? Seems like a long time for the odd conditions to persist.
