| Litter/Pollutants |
There was an extra inflow stream into Dandenong Creek delivering detergent type bubbles to the creek (see photo). Electrical conductivity is low suggesting low saline levels. Good to see no litter/pollutants.
pH not done as we are waiting for a new pH meter from Melbourne Water ordered on 18/8/17.
