Waterway Depth - It been estimated to 180cm and Pool at least 100*8m. sampled from small limestone outcrop towards downsteam end. Last Rainfall - at Mill Park I recorded about 20mm over 5 days, early last week. The water is now 18cm below my reference point, which makes it 5cm higher than when last monitored. The water appears reasonnbaly clear. The surface has very light flim over it. There is also quite a bit of litter about, including polystyrene foam and plastic bottles. (courtesy of the storm water drain put in late last year, no doubt). Phosphate - *0.33 = 0.01 mg/L PO4-P. Waterway Appreance - There was a very light flim over the surface, only noticeable with the sun at the right angle.
