Latest water quality results are showing that conditions are improving. We have a further reduction in levels of total ammonia (0.27 mg/L, pH 8.3, 7.3 °C), and water clarity remains stable. It is also encouraging to see the oxygen levels increasing to similar levels to the river (10.7 mg/L, 90.5 % sat.), which is good news for trout that need well oxygenated water.
Despite being in flood, water tests are looking fairly typical for the time of year, although if the water continues to flood in we will start to see nitrates and phosphates rise higher and this Read more…
After the flooding, Darlow has now frozen around much of the perimeter, but we’ve kept monitoring the water chemistry due to the chance of increase levels of ammonia, nitrates, nitrites and phosphates coming in in Read more…
All looking good on the water chemistry front! No signs of any indicators of pollution and the oxygenation is good, even after the weed cut in early September. Water temperature is still high for the Read more…
