Water was quite turbid after recent rains. This affected the phosphate test, as it made the water darker and it was difficult to determine the correct shade of blue. Therefore, it is difficult to determine if this test was accurate. In future, we will aim to use the LaMotte Smart Meter for phosphate if the water is turbid.
