What is it? The Great UK WaterBlitz is a biannual citizen science 🔬 campaign encouraging everyone to go outside and test the quality of their local freshwater bodies, including all rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, canals and wetlands. 🚣‍♀️

Why do it? This vital data helps to build a clearer picture of water quality across the UK. We can identify areas of high pollution and get a broader understanding of what is happening across the waterways in our country.💩

When is it? Between Friday 24 April and Monday 27 April, you’ll need ~20 minutes 

What do you do? Using a simple testing kit, that we will send to you for free, head to a freshwater location and test the water for its nutrient levels, as well as it’s pH. 🧪
