Litter, road and agricultural runoff, and sewage pollute our rivers and freshwater bodies. Citizen science supports water quality monitoring efforts and the process of identifying outfalls that discharge untreated waste water into rivers.

Citizen science is any research that the general public participates in - from data collection, to interpretation, to co-creating research from the outset. Citizen participation can help broaden the scope of research undertaken on the key issues that affect us all

Only 16% of assessed freshwater in England has a good ecological status - but what can we do about it? Citizen science initiatives around the country are working to bridge the gap between official data and what we see in the real world. #citizenscience #waterquality #pollution
