Possible connection to a stream, although in a disastrous flood even those
residents of tanks in the basement could escape. The chances are slim in a
backyard pond, in a farm pond it would depend on the location and flooding
potential.
I have intercepted Rivulus heading for the back cellar door when there
was a small amount of water running through in a heavy rainfall.
