Other litter included roadworks orange safety mesh. We shook the sample water prior to the turbidity test, filtered each water sample & warmed the water sample for the phosphate & ammonium tests. We noted zero ammonium compared to the 0.10 at Hurstbridge on Thursday. Also the water level was 200 mm higher today to nearly covering the bank edge where we stand on to collect our water sample.
