25-28th April ~ Water Testing Weekend
Join the Great UK WaterBlitz this April and fight for healthy freshwater!
Our rivers and freshwater habitats are at crisis point and we need urgent action.
The Great UK WaterBlitz is a biannual campaign calling on everyone to go out and test the quality of their local freshwater including rivers, streams and lakes. This helps to build a national picture of water quality across the UK. The Great UK WaterBlitz is part of our ongoing FreshWater Watch citizen science monitoring programme.
Hartland Nature Society are taking part and have kits for testing. We plan to include 5 of our rivers at the point of exit to the sea/beach.
We need volunteers to help, please contact Clare (chair@hartlandnaturesociety.org.uk) or Jennie (Jthgirw@hotmail.com) or Caroline (secretary@hartlandnaturesociety.org.uk) if you want to help.
The surveys are fairly quick and can take up to 15-20 minutes to complete, the sampling kits include phosphate test strips, a turbidity tube and a dissolved oxygen probe.
