Did anybody else do the EarthWatch FreshWaterWatch this weekend? I collected samples from the River Rother which runs near my house. It was very high for nitrates this year. Not far upstream of this site is a sewage waste treatment works and there's lots of farm land too.
Ieri, rilevamenti di nitrati e fosfati sul Savena in zona parco dei cedri, valori praticamente nulli, penso in seguito alla recente nevicata in collina

Another bit of citizen science at the weekend, checking my local river's water quality. Phosphate levels have increased since last time.
Another sample for Earthwatch FreshWater Watch / Great UK Water Blitz. Sample location Black Burn (in Tarset Northumberland), which flows into Tarset Burn and then River North Tyne.

Out this morning with Ouseburn Trust in the Lower Ouseburn Valley, taking river water samples and chemically analysing them, as part of Earthwatch FreshWater Watch / Great UK Water Blitz

Completed the sampling and testing of river water in the Ouseburn as it exits the culvert into the Lower Ouseburn Valley on behalf of the Ouseburn Trust. Part of #GreatUKWaterBlitz with citizen scientists across UK. 11.4mm rainfall so far today, but only 2 storm overflows had started flowing shortly before (one upstream and one downstream, see https://www.malmanac.uk/), so probably don't affect measurements.

The results are in!
Just taken part in #GreatUKWaterBlitz with citizen scientists across the country. These are the nitrate and phosphate levels in Whiteacres Brook at the bottom of our garden in Malvern
