North Wey at Alton

Still partially blocked under the bridge upstream of test point. There's sludge coming through blockage but water is clear downstream at test area.
Autumn leaves are falling into river.

Still partially blocked under bridge.
Lot of mud in pond further down from test point, running out into river.

River heavily blocked with debris at bridge upstream of observation point - see images. River shallow at observation point, but clear and flowing smoothly.

The pipe in the image is a little down-river from my testing area and looks as though it comes from the garden backing onto the river. A local man showed it to me and said that the water is coming out into the river continuously. No idea what the source of the water is.

Water level back to normal

A man chatting to me asked if I had a test for cocaine, I replied only if I drank the water and felt happy afterwards.
He was joking!

Water very high, some of the footpaths by the lake were flooded - but of course it is Flood Meadows!

River high with recent rain, flowing fast and steadily.

Water still low after dry spell, but increasing.

Chalk river, so usually alkaline, but these results are not normal for this location.
River was dry at this location last month, but there has been heavy rain off and on for some days so the water in the stream is probably mainly rainwater rather than spring water. Also there was a lot of water coming from a storm drain just above the location which would also be rainwater.
There was also a lot of mud coming through the storm drain, this made the water cloudy in parts.
