A water test was not undertaken at this location because there is no longer water anywhere near the pipe that feeds the pond, apart from a very small pool a metre or so from the pipe (see photo). Water is no longer entering the pond from the other lagoons. The pond was noticeably dry around the sampling point. There was evidence of water, at a much lower level than last month, some distance away.
The water is clear around the inlet but much of the pond is covered with duckweed which grows on slow flowing water. The water flow, colour, clarity & odour relate to the outlet, the water level relates to the pond.
