Great to see the role and value of #CitizenScience in helping to address water quality issues in UK rivers included in this report ⬇️.
A ‘chemical cocktail’ of sewage, slurry and plastic polluting English rivers is putting public health and nature at risk. 📖Read our Water Quality in Rivers report, published today, at 🔍. #EACRivers #SaveOurRivers #CleanItUp #RiverPollution

This year citizen scientists across the Wye catchment have tested >4000 water samples🧪💦🏞️. A dynamic network of change makers has established to share data, resources and learning. Come find out more at our event on Dec 10th👇 .

Another very successful mass sampling event across the Wye catchment yesterday. Water quality was assessed at over 150 sites by volunteers!. And these 20 samples made it safely to the lab for analysis. #CitizenScience . @FriendsUpperWye @CPRW_UK @CPREHfdshire @WyeSalmon

This is massive, and horrific. @NFUtweets is secretly lobbying the government to allow #neonicotinoid pesticides to be reintroduced after Brexit. It tells its members: "Please refrain from sharing this on social media.".On the contrary, please RT.

''Frankly, this reversal of our philosophy to water management over the past centuries is a no-brainer''. Really nice blog from @theriverstrust summing up why #NatureBasedSolutions are critical to addressing freshwater pollution.
Great blog by @MarkLloydRT on why partnership and community working is the way forward when disconnecting rain water from our sewerage.

Some great ideas coming from farmers to help tackle the issue of #plasticpollution in our rivers and the ocean. Finding alternatives to the use of plastic in farming is key. @theriverstrust @sascampaigns @CUWaterResearch.
"If it’s in the soil, it'll end up in the river, if it ends up in the river it’s going to end up in the sea". @BenCoodeAdams is 1 of 5 growers working with researchers to find viable alternatives to on-farm #plastic. Join the #farmerled research network👉
