Water level low. Sample probably taken in too shallow water. Hard to reach with low lake level. Maybe need to find better collection point? Work has been done on pump pipes (?) at downstream end of lake where we take sample. Evidence of digging. Pump not on. Where is flow in creek below lake coming from? Why is this sample so different to creek 50m further on? Phosphate very high but conductivity low. Doesn't make sense. Are we using conductivity meter correctly? Is it to do with units? Repeated conductivity reading to check. Same result.
