Had good rainfall in area less than 48hrs earlier 30mm. A lot of scum on surface, made up mostly of fine flotsam and jetsam, with a light oily film over the downstream end. The water is quite muddy looking. The water level has risen since last monitored, with actual flow into the pond under the bridge. The water level is now 28cm below my reference point, which makes it 25cm higher than when last monitored. The water appears muddy (coffee colored) with quite a bit of scum over the surface, and in places a light oily film. There is quite a lot of litter about, including polystyrene foam.
