Cradle River pollution

 Bergland. 2022/11/25 10:40 Water flow about normal.  Visibility is very poor, compared with upstream from Percy Stewart.  Smell next to the river bad.  Some foam present.

2022/11/25, 10h35  Percy Stewart.  Water still flowing out onto the perimeter road on the north western side of Percy Stewart 

  2022/11/25, 10h31  Percy Stewart, of the 14 gravel filters I can see only 2 are turning and spraying water a further 2 are stationary and spraying water.!

2022/11/25 10h15. Delportan sewage truck dump site.  Still a mess and no control.  Overspill ongoing and going down hillside into Blougat.  Grass growing very well with all the nutrients.  Lots of flies here.  

 AMD 2022/11/25 09h18 Water flow about normal, the water quality visually staying constant.

 2022/11/25 9h58 Blougat next to Robert Broom upstream from Percy Stewart, not much discolouration in water can see the river bed and rocks below surface.

 AMD 2022/11/18 09h15 Water flow about normal, the water quality visually staying constant. Mineral deposits on the pipe next to the outflow, caused by water splashes.

 Bergland. 2022/11/18 08h35 Water flow about normal.  Visibility a very definite deterioration since last week and can see suspended particles.  Quite a ripe smell next to the river.  Slight reduction in foam. I suspect the runoff from the rains is now completely dried up so back to the horrible stuff. The flies here at Bergland are almost carrying me away they are so bad.

  Bergland. 2022/11/11 08h40 Water flow increased.  Visibility slightly better but can clearly see suspended particle, possibly toilet paper.  Quite a ripe smell next to the river.  Increase in foam. Bergland busy irrigating with sludge.  Everything is waterlogged here and collection/buffer dams look full.  Suppose there will be run off which has a high probability of ending up in the river.
