River Wey

We saw lots of Birds today on the river. Ducks, Heron, Coots, Grebe.
Thew Sewage smell was very strong today coming from the Sewage works , with a fair breeze blowing at times. The Sewage works is being decommissioned and being re built further down stream.

Damsel flies around. One duck. Slow moving water. No smell! Don’t understand conductivity reading -calibrate reader?

Lots of Bird Wildlife seen today ( See Stock Lock Pontoon) We also saw More Hens on the river.
High fast flowing river , lots of rain over last 24 hours, so 'Out Let' Pipe from sewage works at Slyfield was racing out fast into the river, difficult to tell colour as moving so fast. Some Scum on river surface.

Fast flowing, high level, brown river

Water slower than upstream
Lots of dogs
Vegetation / trees cut back

Nitrates 4 x higher compared to upstream

Heavy rain and wind over the past 24 hours have led to flooding in local areas.

Outflow from Slyfield treatment works was flowing at full force with large amounts of water going into the river

Regular episodes of wafting sewage smell while testing.

Slower water movement v upstream

Interesting that conductivity higher than upstream though nitrates lower . Phosphates similar
