Wash Brook

Stream

Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada

The location of this body of water is between Chappells Ct. and Union Street at the end of an ally way. Water was less than 2 inches deep and slow-moving where data was collected; noticeably less water passed by and more pollution was spotted along this stretch of the Wash Brook. [lotic system that was slower this evening compared to previous observation]. Walls supporting the small river banks pose a fall risk, meaning caution advised for descent onto the Wash Brook rocks below.
