Not tested. Small pool about 2' away from the two pipes, oval pool 8' x 4', maximum depth 3" containing quite a bit of fallen leaves. No water flowing from the pipes. Small amounts of surface water & expanses of duckweed further way from the small pool.

Not tested. No water was coming from either of the two pipes. A small pool had formed near to the pipes, maximum depth only a couple of inches, with lots of natural debris on the surface and in the pool. The main pond had little visible water, and the muddy pond bed was covered with duckweed.

Main pond has returned, lots of duckweed on its surface, smaller pool where sample taken has no duckweed, depth no more than 3 inches

The pool that leads into the larger pond is very small, a few inches of water at most. The bed of the larger pond has no water and is covered in duckweed. No water was flowing from the two pipes. Testing was not undertaken.

Small pool, maximum depth 1-2", in front of the two pipes. The larger pond that this pool normally feeds into has receded noticeably and the two are no longer connected. A decision was taken not to chemically test.

I did not sample or test this location today. No water was discharging from the pipes, which bring water from the Unstead Wetland lagoons, into the pond. There was a very small pool beneath the pipes with a depth of water of no more than 3". Further away there was a larger very shallow pond/pool which I did not want to venture into on safety grounds. This pond/pool looked stagnant.

The sample was taken from a small pond fed by the two pipes, that was disconnected from a larger pond. Very little water was flowing out of the two pipes.

There was a slow trickle coming out of the two pipes
