- Electrical Conductivity of water was not measured (the EC meter died - tried new batteries but didn't work). Have entered a random EC value to avoid error on submitting data. Sample water for EC was taken in long tube. EC parameter removed (RA)
- Weather was sunny with wind rising and water flow was wind driven.
- Water very discoloured, dark with fine debris around rocks. No mosquito fish visible.
