Very high turbidity and EC today. Had to filter samples for Phosphate and Ammonium tests. There were what looked like two broken litter barriers in the waterway (I wonder what they are and how they came to be there) There was still quite a lot of washed-down debris (twigs, branches, rubbish) banked up on the rock wall. There was a metal cylinder in the rubbish.
