Paddingdale Creek Mouth by Emma Ehrenfeld
No DO ampules or pH strips, unfortunately. It would have been interesting to see what the water parameters would have looked like in a developed area. The creeks shores were heavily urbanized- there was no natural shrubbery or slopes to the waters edge, instead it was built up with wood and rocks to maintain the properties. There was not much macrophyte growth in the water either as it was a sandy bottomed creek.
