Water level very low. The wetland has unconnected pools. The waterlevel was too low to get a sample at the usual sample site so a sample was taken from the pool in front of the birdhide and this pool has suspected Blue green algae present.
phosphate result very high in undiluted sample but low when diluted 1:4 ?, however the discoloration of the sample made colour comparison tests difficult.
