Kyd Brook S.W.O downstream by Kirsty Blackman
There is a known C.S.O upstream. The E.D.M showed that the last discharge was on the 7th June 2025 from 17:45- 20:00 = 2hrs 45mins. Also at this monitoring site there is a S.W.O with a misconnection meaning that there is often a smell of laundry detergent and visible signs coming from the S.W.O. This has been reported but to date the misconnection has not been found.

East Kyd Brook by Kirsty Blackman
The bottom of Kyd Brook was clearer today and the stones looked clean, as normally they are covered with a layer of silt. It must have been the heavy rain on Saturday meaning that the silt is now further downstream. I've also uploaded some sheets explaining the meaning of the ammonia and phosphate levels.

Kyd Brook Hawkswood Estate by Kirsty Blackman
Even though there was a short burst of rain whilst doing our riverfly monitoring today, and there had been rain on and off in the past 24 hours the water level was still low and running slow. As one of the photos above will show the bottom and stones of Kyd Brook are covered in a thick layer of silt making it an awful habitat. This is in part due to the amount of S.W.Os that empty into the brook, which leads to flashing, (water levels rising rapidly) which inturn increases the amount of silt. There was a large oak branch and several large pieces of concrete in the stream, Brian, my fellow Riverfly monitor lifted a couple of pieces of concrete and there were some gammarus and Asellus plus 3 leeches but could not be recorded for riverfly monitoring. R.M.I results gamarrus x12 R.M.I score = 2

There is a known misconnection into this surface water overflow/S.W.O, which means that there is often laundry detergent entering the brook. There is a smell of old laundry detergent from the outlet.
