Very muddy water, shown in high Turbidity value. Has been like this for some weeks now, since the water flow increased.  Water level means several metres of low lying flat lland is under several cm water - includes the grassy wetland meadow on the Fyansford side , about 5m wide and abutting the usual edge of the river (normal width about 25m). Apart from this, river not over banks.
