Paddingdale Creek
Ontario, Canada
Opening of Paddingdale Creek to the St. Lawrence river - Very developed shoreline; maintained lawn goes right to the edge of the water and the creek's shores are built up with upright wooden planks (and what appears to be concrete?) to create a shelf for the properties.
Very shallow, slow-moving, sandy-bottomed creek with little to no vegetation cover

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.
