Ron Haimbaugh by Ron Haimbaugh
The creek's water level was high with much higher flow than usual. It was interesting that I did see small fish, but no frogs. The whole area is really overgrown. There was trash in the water. Next Spring when the weeds are low I will try to pull some of the trash out of the creek.

St. Joseph's Creek @ 59th & Williams Street by Jon Yeater
In the picture of the details, I have QU labeled at 3.8, but after reviewing the picture it is actually 4.0, so I reflected that in the details above as 158 PPM.

Low water levels, assuming due to high heat and lack of precipitation in recent weeks.

Lake Killarney to Silver Lake Creek (Cary, IL, 60013) by Eberhard Veit
- The PPM are lower than on past readings and lower than the lake. This could be due to several rainstorm we had in the days before the test. Took reading a various other locations in the area. For details and results see Lake Killarney outlet dam data

Lake Killarney outlet dam (Cary, IL, 60013) by Eberhard Veit
Took various readings with remaining Cl- strips and found similar results as in November. Lake has a very stable, high CL- concentration. Eberhard Veit's well water is higher in Cl- than the lake. (60 ft deep well) The spring near our house is the same as our well water. 2 other inflows to the lake are also higher than the lake, including the inflow from the Hollows Conservation area. - Feel free to contact me with comments and questions.

Veteran Acres - Sterne Woods (Oakwoods Lodge) by Far Syed
I believe due to the swampy water, and its warm temperature, the chloride levels were low, plus, it was 58 degrees. The geese family seemed to enjoy the water, so it was not bad for them to go for a swim!
