Last rainfall: 19.5mm 5 days ago What has changed since last time you monitored? The water level at the Fort Knox site was lower than normal, with a brown tinge to the water, a bit oily in places, and some floating scum What stands out about the site today? A nearby creeper had been "shaveD" and it had left quite a mess of dead leaves on the bank and in the water. Fort Knox conductivity, turbidity and phosphate were all higher than at Susan St (as is often the case).
