Cold, crystal clear, good flow. Some snow in mountains. Rosehill gauge 1.53 m, steady EC meter again playing up. Raw sample readings were 29,30 but 84 standard read as 37. I corrected reading to 77. This is the last sample I have done. I am not happy with the accuracy of the meters, and disappointed that the Government does not feel that the data I and other volunteers collect for no reward worthy of support through a dedicated waterwatch officer.
