Ammonium and phosphate: water warmed to 21.7 degrees\ Air temp taken in shade of bridge Conductivity in drain higher than river What has changed since last time you monitored? less frothy, but last measured in 2008 What stands out about the site today? I can hear water running in the drain, about 10-20 m up further. drain too dark to see into it too far . Water is falling from higher up, it sounds like quite a large amount. Perhaps from recent rain? River is currently up 1.5-1m higher than usual so no overfall from pipe- river water is mixing with stormwater . Litter: Quantities of litter not specified, 1 used to indicate that type of litter was ticked. Lots of polystyrene found
