Notes

Lots of debris in the water, as usual there is now a load of debris stacked against a fence where East Kyd Brook goes into a garden a little downstream from this monitoring site, causing it to dam and the water level to rise. There is floating debris and the surface has an oily sheen in places. The rain has flushed some silt away but there is still quiet a bit on the stones.
