Notes

Abundant amounts of algae at the testing site. There was urban/road discharge visible. Water movement was between steady and surging. Water level was slightly higher than normal. Water colour was brown and water clarity was cloudy. There was an odour, due to the algae.

*Water sample was taken from a shallower lever than normal, due to the excessive amounts of algae in the lake at this testing site.
