The Freshwater Team at Earthwatch Europe are leading the Water Quality programme of the ECP’s work. Every month, volunteer citizen scientists monitor the River Evenlode and its tributaries using the FreshWater Watch toolkit. This toolkit includes a survey alongside nutrient (nitrate and phosphate) and turbidity measurements. Click the button to download a PDF guide explaining how this data is used. If you would like to get involved in water quality monitoring, please email water@earthwatch.org.uk
