This test came after the flood event when Bendigo Creek experienced it's highest flow since 2016.  The creek had been extremely high in the days after but had fallen to normal flow by the time of this test.

Phosphorus was way darker than darkest blue but I did not have access to the High Phos test kit at the time to get the actual reading.

EC extremely high
