Notes
The river was over the banks in many places and running very fast. The sewage treatment works upstream Hockford) of this testing point had been discharging storm overflow in to the stream for about 13 hours at time of testing. The Thames Water comment on this discharge indicated it may include raw sewage. River distance from outfall to test site is approximately 880m.
The nitrate/phosphate levels were not particularly high at time of testing, though dilution due to amount of water in the river, would have been very high. This is indicated as well by the relatively low (for this site) conductivity levels.
Water could only be collected from the bank, though tried to reach out into the stream flow as much as possible it was not easy.
