Last rainfall 10 days ago. Salinty slightly up and decrease in phosphate levels. Nothing to be concerned about. THis particular test site at the Yarra is good. Do can be carried out closer to the bank where water flow is low or not present. This is why I carry out all tests due to the availability of different water bodies and turbidity levels. Couldn't carry out bug sampling this month die to time restraint. Hope to carry out sampling during the holiday break to gain a better picture of bug presence and diversity.
