- Where riparian sites included pools in creek lines and the margins along creeks usually heavily vegetated and shaded. Drains were all earthen, slow flowing, usually heavily vegetated and shaded. Semi-permanent ground pools refers to small to medium pools of water well established with vegetation in and around the site, well developed aquatic flora and fauna, usually shaded. Examples: borrow pits, large vehicle tracks, blocked creeks and water courses, natural rain filled depressions. Transient ground pools were those maintained only by regular rainfall they were unestablished with no vegetation or fauna usually exposed, unshaded and with a clay substrate. Examples: vehicle tracks, small natural depressions, pig wallows, foot prints, ruts in roads and foot tracks (Figure 3).
