    Bayou Path Dr Stream in Atwater Subdivision by Lisa Hjorth

    The wind gusts were quite strong from the NW causing vegetation and branches to collect around the yellow strainers at the inflow site. The water level in the pond was still high enough to get past the debris and flow to the output / test site. The air temperature had significant fluctuations the past days going from 18 degrees C to 1 degree with snow.

    Veteran Acres - Sterne Woods (Oakwoods Lodge) by Far Syed

    The weather was great around 75 degrees. There were geese on the other side, and the water was calming, but high chloride levels were still an issue!

    Lippold Park - West Entrance by Far Syed

    The weather was so great at 74 degrees. The water was sparkling, and the geese were enjoying the nice breeze and water. It was a calming site, but the chloride was high as the geese were far away from it!
