Observations

  • 31 August 2025

    Wealdstone Brook Woodcock Park Mural Bridge by John Poole

    There is a Thames Water SONDE a short way upstream of this sampling point which gave similar readings for ammonia, pH and temperature - no phosphate readings but additional turbidity, dissolved O2 and conductivity readings are available from this SONDE.

    Imperial Way Bridge - Lindsay Drive Roundabout by John Poole

    It had rained heavily the previous day and the ammonia and phosphate readings were lower than previous readings indicating that these pollutants had been washed through the river.

  • 31 August 2025

    Falcon Way bridge - Lindsay Drive roundabout by John Poole

    It had been raining heavily prior to these tests and the usual pollutants had been flushed through showing lower levels of ammonia and phosphate than previous readings.

    Duckweir - Clitheroe Island - Boston Manor Park by Mitch Goldman

    1. There were houseboats moored nearby. 2. There were ducks and swans. 3. There were small floating green things in the water. I thought it was algae but it could have been plant leaves/pollen. 4. The water was the clearest I have ever seen. I could see the plants under the water.

    Darlands Lake (Downstream) by David Roth

    No water at all in the usual riverfly sampling location. Did not therefore kick sample. Did collect stream sample from pool just up from where we usually sample for Hanna checks.

    River Brent west side of bridge to clubhouse by John Branch

    A boom was fitted upstream of the test area due to reported discharge from an outflow.

    These readings are for the lower part of the river restoration project at Lindsay Drive roundabout.

    Windsor Open Space - Village Road Outfall by Judith Howlett

    Opportunistic sampling as passing. Ammonia only tested as awaiting more phosphate testing kits. Water from outfall looks fairly clear at the moment and no particular smell
