Notes

Full Ross water rangers team on duty :) Met a man from the local health unit who was testing the water used by the centre so we told him all about Water Rangers and gave him a card to go to the site. He's a fisherman too so was very interested in all the testing done. Saw flocks of ducks, mourning doves, chichadees, white moths, butterflies, grasshoppers, frog, a slug, dragon flies and mosquitoes. So much green slimy algae everywhere on the water surface and weeds below , with many bullrushes. The conductivity reading was the highest we've ever seen and the DO was the lowest of anywhere we have tested!
