The water level today was above my reference point, which is more than 13 cm higher than when last measured. The silt swirling about in the water was very evident, almost milky. About 11mm rainfall (at Mill Park) over the last 3 days. For the turbidity reading I diluted 50ml of sample with 200ml of filtered water, then multiplied the measured 163 FTU by 5 to get 815 - reported as 500.
