The turbidity reading is now more accurate - because we are now using the turbiduty instrument rather than a turbiidity column - hence the average is misleading.
High tide on 3-4pm on April 1st brought sea water into the estuary with very high water levels -- water up on the banks near the Fishing platform. I expected the EC to be higher at the Fishing Platform- a higher reading at the Big Tree was not expected.
