There was a great deal of rubbish in the water… cans, bottles, etc. It was difficult to tell if it had been put there deliberately or not, as a lot of it was lined up in a row across part of the stream, but I suppose it could have been washed down and just caught in that arrangement. Phosphate and Ammonium were very low this month. There was the sound of water entering from one of the underground drains at the time of monitoring.
