This means that little vegetal undergrowth exist here despite the boggy environment. The swamp water is stagnated, enabling little life to survive in the swamp with a propensity to completely dry up as witnessed during last year's drought in the area. Another view of the swamp area The Creek area. A creek environment can be defined as a body of water that is between the size of a brooke and a stream. A brooke has little water that flows very slowly, while a stream is usually deeper than a creek or brooke.
Creeks are important for several reasons.
First they provide water to larger water body, in this case Lake Louise. The continuous runoff of fast moving water can form a creek. The creek area can be described via the movement of water, the physical characteristics of the water, the vegetation that is present in the body of water and the depth of the creek .The movement of the water seems to either be still or slightly toward the lake. Although Lake Louise does not receive water from streams or rivers, it does receive water from storm runoff. The creek on drier occasions does provide water to the lake.
