We’ll start with 2 informal, half-hour sessions on river monitoring. Find out how to help us:
- Measure water quality (phosphate, dissolved solids, turbidity and water temperature, using simple field test kits.
- Record visible signs of pollution (e.g. sewage fungus, discoloured water, odour, foams, algal blooms).
- Note habitat and channel features (flow, substrate, bank condition) and nearby land use (fields, roads, settlements).
- Log wildlife and other features of interest, both positive (e.g. kingfishers, water voles) and negative (e.g. invasive plants).for That raises some questions.
Entry free – paying bar and sandwiches.
