Spring Lake, San Marcos November 14
Vis: 50'+
Temp: Same (almost true)
Spring Flow: 240cfs
The "deep" aquifer water has hit the lake. Spring flow is up 70cfs from a week ago.
Pete and I cleaned up Diversion and made a significant dent cleaning up Cream of Wheat. On a very good vis day, you can see deep into COW from the Training Area. All the coontail blocking access into COW has been cleared. I hit one spot of cold water (low pressure shallow spring independent of COW and Diversion springs) about midway down Little Riverbed. All the big heads of coontail in COW have been cleared. At the end of the dive, we were pulling softball size clumps of plants out of the springs in COW. Made some headway, but more still needs to be done.
Cow needs finning and there are a few heads of coontail still hung up around Diversion.
Great working dive when at the end, you know you made a difference.
Overall, the area is starting to look like it did before the drought.
