Notes

It rained yesterday, there was steeped bank. Water colour was dark suggesting natural debris and vegetative contamination in river due to rain. Turbidity is high, entrance is steeped, EHSS- found wild strawberries vegetation attracting bears, there was a cardboard and plastic trash which might affect the river quality because it is non- biodegradable.
