WATER TESTING AFTER A FLOOD
After severe storms or flood water quality can change, affecting plants, soil, livestock, irrigation, domestic use and general on-farm activities. Primary producers are encouraged to test the quality of water to allow remedial action before damage occurs to equipment, production losses are experienced, or the health of animals or people is compromised.
