Bristol Road indicates that long filamentous nuisance algae proliferations occur at times at
the Bristol Road site. Monitoring over the 2019-2021 period found that periphyton biomass
at the monitoring site 2.3 km downstream of the scheme intake exceeded the guideline for
benthic biodiversity of 50 mg/m2 on one occasion only (January 2020), despite the
combination of stable flows and summer water temperatures over the January-February
2020 period providing ideal conditions for periphyton growth.
