Great UK WaterBlitz

FreshWater Watch Overview

Great UK WaterBlitz is the largest citizen science water quality project in the UK. It aims to enhance our understanding of water health through community involvement and scientific monitoring.

Importance of Water Quality Monitoring

Determining the health of waterbodies is not always straightforward. Often, the issues affecting water quality are not visible at first glance. The FreshWater Watch toolkit is designed to help uncover these hidden problems, making the invisible aspects of water quality visible.

Community Involvement

Individuals and communities are trained to use simple water monitoring tests that can accurately detect and visualize nutrient pollution. This hands-on approach empowers participants to contribute to the health of their local waterbodies.
