Woodlands Park pond drainning and works during this week, ecplaining higher turbidity and colouration of water.
High rainfall last weekend and drainage has flattened creekside plants and brought in more trash.Slower flow and stagnant at flat pool section.
Julia came for shadow sampling and corrected some flaws in our data gathering techniques, dropped off some new calibration solutions, colour wheels, gloves and batteries. Thanks Julia :)
