We tried water testing at dusk! It was fun but a bit difficult to see, as expected :) We haven’t been able to test here for a while because of flooding but seems to be good now!
We heard in the news about a discolouration in the river. It looks like an oil spill but reports say it’s algae. We haven’t heard anything more about it, but we got some pictures.
My friend and his kids completed this test for me while I was on vacation! They’ve been out testing before so they were well trained. They wrote the values in the book and sent me a picture right away so I could use the app to submit the data!
Lots of rainfall the past few days! Our testing location is underwater, but still accessible. While we wanted to do a DO test, the water that we could access was too shallow. The nearby boat launch is under water as well!
