>So even though my location is remote, with no conventional agriculture
which would employ extensive use of agricultural chemicals, those chemicals
can, and I believe do, travel a long way downstream and impact on
ecosystems here including my bees.
Thanks for the explanation Peter. Can't you go to your local water
monitoring agency (
http://www.water.wa.gov.au/Tools/Monitoring+and+data/default.aspx) and get
the actual testing data for pesticide residues in your river?
