Information on water quality monitoring is available on GOV.UK through the Water Quality Explorer. The sample point most relevant to your query on Grafham Water is 22M03.

Further information may be available from Anglian Water Services who can provide details of Anglian Water's monitoring activities in the area and how it takes nutrient levels into account when abstracting water.
