10/5/09 first samples possible parent rock, texture and colour, evidence of pollution

The colour of the soil is dark brown and most of the samples are sandy in texture which is why I think the parent rock is sandstone, some may be mudstone though.
The creek isnt very polluted at all, I only found evidence of part of a plastic bag at one sample spot. There is a lot of rust in the water though, I think it comes from the drainpipe which flows into the creek. I do know that there is pollution further down from where I tested, garbage mostly.

  1. all of your results are looking good and it's great to see well-organised tables that you can later just copy and paste into your final report. Don't forget to add units to your phosphate readings.
    well done Grace.
