filtered all samples, received extremely high phosphate readings from this site, undertook test 3 times to ensure accurate result. There has been alot of extreme bank erosion in this section. All sites had the same high turbdity levels, however this site had significantly lower oxygen readings, possibly due to increasing siltration and turbidity of water.
