Results of testing this small woodland stream for a year now seem to be fairly consistent. :-)
It is a 'happy' stream, shallow, and can even be jumped across at some points. Its principal purpose and existence are as an 'outlet' off the River Wey approximately one mile east of Godalming, Surrey, UK.
Flow comes off the R. Wey into an underground pipe beneath our housing estate's road, from south to north, then literally bubbles up audibly into Landings Wood Stream to flow on a sandy, gravelly base through the 3.75-acre woodland owned by the housing estate of 60 houses, on an 'island' created by a loop of the R. Wey around the south side of the estate and an 18-century navigation of the R. Way on the north side of the woodland.
Landings Wood Stream joins a former watermill 'cut' or race, approximately 800 yards to the east of the under-road pipe off the R. Wey described above, within the housing estate; and this former mill race flows north to rejoin the R. Wey as it continues towards north-east towards Guildford, Surrey, UK.
Thus the water in the stream comes directly from the R. Wey and from street storm drains on the housing estate, mostly from rainfall and from seeps, springs and streams up-river feeding the R. Wey.

Nothing extraordinary. :-)

Happy little stream running off the River Wey through a lush woodland.

Happy little stream in pleasant woodland. Water colour usually reported as 'clear', but really should be 'very, very slightly tinged amber' :-) But small fish easily seen in water, no smell or algal growth. Stream flows over sand and small gravel bedding.

There are always a few birds around in the trees of this woodland environment adjacent to a small housing estate.

Bright, cold morning. Water colour and clarity were not opaque, just 'beige' and less clear than usual because the stream was high and surging from previous days of a lot of rain.

Everything in this small stream is in working order. :-)

No issues. Small stream running 'regularly'., as expected.

Clarity slightly milky from turbulence.

Water level and speed of flow slightly higher than 'average', owing to periodic rain showers over past few days in our area.
