| Comments |
Widespread throughout the country but most abundant in drains and small canals in urban areas. Occurs rarely in the wild, but are sometimes found in small, perennial water bodies associated with human habitation. Population is now stable, though not well established in the drier parts of the country. Also Ref. 1739. |
