Observation ID	#13312
Date and Time	Friday 13th September 2019 11:30am

Notes

Rainfall past 48 hrs = 1.6 mm; Atm. press = 1023.5 hPa.

There is an ongoing build-up of sediment and debris at the river gauge. (See photo.) River height readings may not be possible during dry months.

Question for Estuarywatch co-ordinator: Vegetation growth has progressively obscured our vision of the river mouth from Photopoint BmP3. (See photo BmP3-3). Other viewpoints have advantages, and may deserve consideration. (See, for example, photo BmP2-5.)
