Just attended the training provided by the Tyne Rivers Trust to undertake regular river water quality recording and chemical analysis at one of twelve locations on the River Ouseburn in Newcastle. Tests include temperature, conductivity, turbidity, phosphate, nitrate, nitrite and ammonia. Sampling and testing kit were provided to each of the 12 participants.
