Here's what the storm data looks like using our data visualization and animation tool:

This graph also shows how stream flow (the blue line) increased and how this flush of water into the system actually reduced its total salt load - as indicated by the decrease in electrical conductivity plotted in red. At this time of year there's not a huge amount of salts that wash like they do in the spring. It's important to realize that there are still big increases in the loads of a number of pollutants from this summer runoff, and this is an important impact even though its a small fraction of the total salt load.

The black line shows the temperature of the stream.
