Great UK WaterBlitz Spring 2026

Freshwater quality across the UK

Thousands of citizen scientists uploaded data from across the UK between 24-27 April 2026. Of the 2,315 surveys, 2,038 were collected in England, 140 were collected in Scotland, 112 measurements were taken in Wales, and 25 datapoints were gathered in Northern Ireland.

The data indicated that England has the worst water quality in the UK, which is consistent with the findings of the four previous Great UK WaterBlitz events.

Nutrient pollution by country in the Spring 2026 Great UK WaterBlitz

61% of measurements taken across England’s freshwater bodies indicated unacceptable levels of nutrient pollution. In comparison, only 18% of measurements in Wales, 26% of measurements in Scotland, and 40% of measurements in Northern Ireland showed poor water quality.

As we continue to collect more data over repeated WaterBlitz events each spring and autumn, the findings of previous events are confirmed as a trend.

What have we learnt over the last five events?

Taking the average across all five Great UK WaterBlitz events so far, 69% of measurements in Wales, 66% of measurements in Scotland, and 65% of measurements in Northern Ireland indicate low nutrient concentrations and therefore good water quality.

In comparison, only a small 31% of average measurements in England indicate good water quality.
