Physical Chemical Tests

There was very muddy water entering the creek just upstream from where we do the tests, approx 5-10 metres (I'm terrible at approximation). The water was entering from the opposite bank from where tests are done, so couldn't smell discharge. The before and after impact on the turbidity was very marked. There had been a sudden shortish rainfall earlier in the morning and I wonder if this made the discharge apparent and noticeable. I was not aware of this drain/discharge point into the creek prior to today. I didn't know if i should report it to Britt or if that is over reacting. I will seek clarification for in future. I can locate the exact point for future investiagtions if required.

I have taken many photos and videos and have only included a small selection with this report. I didn't realise that videos wouldn't be allowed and only 6 photos so perhaps not the best overall 6. The others are available if anyone would like to look at them. My apologies if I should have actively sent an emai lto report or something. Also, apologies for the delay in entering my results. I have had computer troubles and are catching up on a few reports. Also, I didn't do the previous months report as there was a serious health crisis in my family. Thats a lot of apologies :) but I am still very much enjoying doing the task.
