Other litter included balls, a sheet of Perspex, and some small boards. Signs of heavy flow after the recent rain events, but flow was back to low-normal as there has been no rain in the past 24 hours or so.
The depth of the waterway doesn’t lessen much when there is not a lot of water flowing; just the width narrows a bit.Today the air temperature down at water level was noticeably less than that at street level, as the air coming out from the underground section was very much cooler.
Ammonium and Phosphate levels were good.
pH slightly high.
