Test your local river water quality with FreshWater Watch

Sample your river and share the data

FreshWater Watch trains residents to measure nitrate, turbidity, and algae in local streams. Your readings join a global map scientists and councils use.

What you can do

• Sign up at FreshWater Watch and request a simple test kit
• Pick a bridge or footpath you walk weekly and sample at the same spot
• Upload photos of wildlife and pollution hotspots with your readings

How it works

Short training videos show safe sampling. You enter results on the app; project scientists flag unusual spikes to local water managers.

Why it matters

When neighbours measure water, cleanup stops being invisible: communities spot sewage spills and celebrate when clarity returns.
