It would be good to get a better picture weather-wise if that report was done more frequently. It is easy to out and collect a little bit of water. The figure of 16% may not be 16% on another day if we have heavy rain - that is the idea I am getting. For example, if there is heavy rainfall, are the waters flowing more quickly and is the concentration therefore lower?
