Unstead Wetland Nature Reserve
Godalming, Surrey, United Kingdom
Pool appeared during Autumn 2024, close to the manhole cover above the pipe that leads to the GSTW outflow into the River Wey (20 metres away) east side of Trunley Heath Road, down from the Hide. Water is leaking from the pool and crossing the road into the river.

Floating algae mats are no longer visible on the surface. There might be a small amount dispersed on the surface. There's a fair bit of dead matter at the bottom of the pool. The pool has receded away from the manhole cover. Cars are still splashing through water on Trunley Heath Road. There is a washing machine smell coming from the manhole cover.
The algae has appeared since the pool was last tested a month ago. This pool did not exist until relatively recently, normally you would not expect to find water at this location on the wetland reserve hence the decision to test. The depth of the pool was the same as last month and has been categorized as average.
Washing machine odour coming from beneath manhole cover.
