Notes

At the testing site the water was clear. 100 metres up at the outlet pipe the water was bluish with foam and smelt like drain water, it still smelt like this about 50 metres down. There is usually rubbish coming down the steep bank (from the car park) and there was quite a lot in the undergrowth on the other side of the bank, like it might have got washed up there following heavy rain.
