Rainfall in the past 24hrs if anything has promoted dirty water samples with high turbidity readout. Although the EC level was low the sample had to be filtered to a point whereby a clear photphate reading could be obtained. With the help of a proper filter kit for these extremes, my time could be reduced in the future. It is getting to the point where the headwater may become difficult to sample due to low levels and unsettled water even through rainfall. I am hoping for a vast improvement in march testing.
