Stream at junction of Polsted Lane and Withies Lane

Leaves have dammed up the stream to some degree but the water is still flowing to the exit points

The water no longer appears to exit into the ditch (blocked by tree base/root) and instead leaves via the pipe which takes water to Withies Pond

Withies Pub Pond quite full so the pipe may be allowing water through from the stream

Removed broken branch to gain access for water sampling. Smaller branches remain in the stream. Yesterday was very wet in Guildford - persistent rain.

Some natural debris - sticks on side of stream bank. Sandy central stream bottom with some accumulation on the side where the pipe is located (drains to the pond near The Withies Pub?)

Water level was high.

A fair bit of natural debris has started to collect. The exit point (from the meeting point of the two streams where I test) is clogging up. I noticed that the pond by The Withies Pubs has refilled. There is a pipe, at the test location, that in theory takes water down to the pond but I heard previously that this had become blocked. A passerby today said that there might be other ditches that feed into the pond.

A few dead branches to the side of the main channel on accumulated sand (bank of stream). The pipe that drains water to the pond near The Withies Pub still looks blocked.

Much fuller and deeper than normal. Lots of leaves and some small branches on the surface. The exit point (water drains into a ditch) has become partially blocked and has dammed up some of the water behind it.

Steady to fast flow (compared to the summer), sand at bottom of main channel, silt accumulated to the side of the stream bank (always there), there are a few logs (downstream from the sampling point) obstructing the exit point into the ditch
