Rainfall caused a huge flow in the days preceeding this test - hence the turbidity and rubbish (see photo). Reactive phosphorus was through the roof and we had to use the High Phosphorus test kit to get a reading. This may be due to notification that Coliban Water needed to release water from their ponds into Bendigo Creek due to high rainfall and the risk of them overflowing.
