The water was cloudy but it was raining very hard which would disrupt the water, and could increase conductivity. The water was still , but this could change of the rainfall received today. We tried to keep the rain away from reaching the tests but the rain could have affected the conductivity and test strips IF they did get wet from the rain. The road is closed on both ends, and is not allowing any cars to be on the bridge. There is two closure signs. The rocks on the path to the sample location are very slippery when wet.
Nothing unusual except a Microwave dumped in the water.
Watch your steps while going down to reach the location. The overgrown vegetation is dying. Lots of natural debris on the water's surface.
I saw several fish jumping, as well as some minnows in the shallows under the bridge. Very slow. Could not tell which way the water was flowing.
Rocky. Just a few leaves on the surface
The water is not moving at all.
The colour of the leaves is changing. Observed a lot of aquatic vegetation. Need to wear boots to enter in the water. The odor of kerosene is from the bridge not from the water. Observed some fishing hooks and fishing lines near the area.
The water level is higher than usual, flowing faster than usual. Beside a road with a bridge over the river. Sharp boulders, smaller round rocks. Lots of vegetation.
Watch your steps on small boulders. Lots of vegetation around so carry mosquito repellent. Bear warning by residents.
Lots of vegetation and mosquitos.
