Physical Chemical Tests

Water level was 12cm below my reference point, which is 18cm higher than when last measured. The very heavy rains last weekend, with resulting high river, have changed the bank a little. Very muddy looking, and high water level, yet has been nearly a week since the high river. At Mill Park I recorded 51mm of rain last Sunday evening, with very little since.
