The readings for ammonia showed a great improvement as previous readings for several months had been at 3.00 flashing, ie the highest for the Hanna checkers I use.
The readings for phosphates also showed an improvement as the 2.50 reading was not flashing, as it had been for several months.
The water level in the Moselle Brook in Tottenham Cemetery in the stretch where we test is not deep. It ranges from a 3-15 cms.
In contrast to the previous water monitoring in August, the Moselle Brook showed no signs of white deposits from sewage fungus and the water and stream bed was clear with good clarity. However the readings were still flashing, indicating the true amounts ppm were above 2.50 and 3.00.
The readings were both flashing, ie values were higher than 3.00 and 2.50. There was a great deal of sewage fungus evident showing as white deposits. The sewage fungus had not been visible in the previous 4 visits to this site, so there was a marked deterioration in the appearance of the Brook.
The ammonia reading display was 3.00, flashing, ie greater than 3.00
The phosphate reading display was 2.50 flashing, ie greater than 2.50
The Hanna checkers were both flashing . So the true reading was Phosphate 2.50 flashing and Ammonia - 3.00 flashing.
The readings for Ammonia were 3.00 flashing and for Phosphate was 2.50 flashing.
