Notes

The water temperature was colder than other sites but the meter did not drop even after 5 minutes. DO measurement was taken but the comparison chart said 11 although when changed in a different direction its looks 9. Using the steps given having it face on it would be 11 but in actual closer to 9 shown by aquatroll. The site was moved approximately 10 m upstream from a culvert.
Dead grass blocks seeing the path- watch steps.
