Completed the sampling and testing of river water in the Ouseburn as it exits the culvert into the Lower Ouseburn Valley on behalf of the Ouseburn Trust. Part of #GreatUKWaterBlitz with citizen scientists across UK. 11.4mm rainfall so far today, but only 2 storm overflows had started flowing shortly before (one upstream and one downstream, see https://www.malmanac.uk/), so probably don't affect measurements.
