Notes

Weather had been dry and one source of water through South Norwood Country Park had dried up. The flow reaching Maberley Playing Field was polluted with readings exceeding the Hanna Checker maximum. Samples were diluted twice ie 1/4 of pollutants to get readings below Hanna checker maximums. So the readings given here are conservative estimates for later comparison. South Norwood NW and near Beckenham Cemetary were relatively high at the May water blitz sampling.
