Great UK WaterBlitz Spring 2026
Between 24-27 April 2026, 4,677 citizen scientists surveyed 2,315 freshwater sites, creating a comprehensive citizen-led snapshot of water quality across the UK.
The results have now been analysed and our full report is ready to share!
The report’s key findings:
- 57% of datapoints across the UK showed poor water quality, with unacceptable levels of nutrient pollution
- Over five WaterBlitzes, England consistently shows the worst water quality in the UK; this spring 61% of sites tested had unacceptable levels of nutrient pollution
- Wales had the best national result of any WaterBlitz, with only 18% of sites showing unacceptable water quality
- The counties of Bristol and Rutland had the worst water quality in the UK, with all measurements indicating unacceptable water quality
- The Lune and the Kent & Leven river basins in the north west of England showed 100% good water quality, as did the Welsh Severn Uplands in Wales
- pH was also measured, as an initial step towards using citizen science data to better interpret phosphate concentrations relative to UK site- specific thresholds
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.
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.
Why is nutrient pollution such a problem?
Nitrates and phosphates occur naturally in the environment and are essential for plant growth.
However, in high concentrations, nitrates and phosphates can lead to a process called eutrophication. This process is when excessive plant and algal growth (caused by the extra nutrients) leads to high levels of bacteria. The bacteria decrease oxygen levels in the water, killing plants and animals.
Lots of algae on the water surface can also choke waterways, preventing wildlife from feeding, and blocking sunlight, causing further problems for aquatic plants. Over time, with continued high levels of nutrients, river ecosystems can fail.
Are you concerned about the results in your county?
Share your regional WaterBlitz results with your MP and make them aware of what has been discovered.
Ask them to support laws that protect and enhance our precious waterways, putting planet over profit.
The louder your voice, the bigger the change.
