Hello from Happy Valley, Nice easy site to sample. Water was sort of clear with turbidity of 22. Not clean like Mudgegonga. Here,I had to do a real reading, not just fill the tube and look at the wiggly lines. The flow rate is from guessing the weir width at 2m and presuming the depth markers have the datum aligned to the weir base. Will check when the flow drops. Can't see the bottom and a bit dangerous walking out with a tape measure. Cheers from HV, Terry
