3.5mm rainfall in last 3 days but a lot more in last month. Samples were filtered for nutrient tests but the water was still too muddy to get an accurate result. Turbidity was over 400 NTUs and was too dense to measure in the tube. Muddiest and ashiest ever seen in this site for the 3 years have been sampling. Bug sampling could not be attempted.
