Great UK WaterBlitz Spring Report 2025
27th May 2025
Between 25-29 April 2025, 7,978 citizen scientists surveyed 4,017 freshwater sites; creating the UK’s most comprehensive citizen-led snapshot of water quality to date.
The report’s key findings
- 66% of datapoints across the UK show poor water quality, with unacceptable levels of nutrient pollution
- Over three WaterBlitzes, England consistently has the worst water quality in the UK; this April, 74% of sites tested had unacceptable levels of nutrient pollution
- Once again, our data suggest the Thames and Anglian river basin districts have the worst water quality in the UK, with 86% of measurements showing unacceptable levels of nutrient pollution
- The Neagh Bann river basin district in Northern Ireland has the best water quality in the UK
- The Scottish counties of Roxburgh, Ettrick and Lauderdale, Ross and Cromarty, Kirkcudbrightshire and Inverness have the best water quality in the UK
- The English counties of East Riding of Yorkshire and Rutland have the worst water quality in the UK, closely followed by Oxfordshire and Hertfordshire
- 24% of datapoints across the UK show E. coli levels that would classify as poor (were the site to be given bathing water status) with significant regional variation
- Our data demonstrate a positive correlation between E. coli levels and phosphate levels, but not between E. coli levels and nitrate levels, demonstrating the importance of regular monitoring by FreshWater Watch citizen scientists and the impact of poor wastewater management
Freshwater quality across the UK
Thousands of citizen scientists uploaded data from across the UK. Of the 4,017 surveys, 3,279 were collected in England; 278 were collected in Scotland; 253 measurements were taken in Wales; and 207 datapoints were gathered in Northern Ireland.
The data indicate that England has the worst water quality in the UK, which is consistent with the findings of the Great UK WaterBlitz events from June and September 2024.
74% of measurements taken across England’s waters indicate unacceptable levels of nutrient pollution. In comparison 37% of measurements in Wales and 30% of measurements in Northern Ireland and Scotland showed poor water quality.
As we continue to collect more data over repeated WaterBlitzes the findings of the first WaterBlitz are confirmed as a trend.
On average, 63% of measurements taken across Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales indicate good water quality. In comparison, on average, 26% of measurements in England indicate good water quality.
It is important that we continue to grow our biannual WaterBlitzes to further improve national coverage and allow robust, longer-term analysis of the UK’s water quality.
Water quality in your county
The Great UK WaterBlitz looks at water quality in a number of ways – comparing different areas of the UK. Use the list below to explore how nutrient pollution is affecting your local area.
Tyrone
In Tyrone, we analysed 34 data points. Of these data points, 29% showed unacceptable levels of nutrient pollution. This compares to 30% in Northern Ireland overall, meaning that Tyrone had better than average water quality.
Northern Ireland’s freshwater sites demonstrate significantly better conditions compared to England, where 74% of water samples showed unacceptable levels of nutrient pollution. You can explore all of the datapoints from Northern Ireland and the whole of the UK on the Great UK WaterBlitz on the interactive WaterBlitz map. Despite it’s relatively clean freshwater, the presence of unacceptable pollution levels in a third of Northern Ireland’s tested sites highlights that challenges remain.
Our next WaterBlitz will take place in September. Ongoing water testing throughout the Great UK WaterBlitz is crucial for establishing a comprehensive and dynamic picture of the nation’s freshwater health, enabling the identification of pollution hotspots, tracking changes over time, and providing vital data to advocate for stronger environmental policies.

Why is nutrient pollution a problem?
Nitrates and phosphates occur naturally in the environment and are essential for plant growth. 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’s surface can also choke waterways preventing wildlife from feeding, and block sunlight causing further problems for aquatic plants. Over time, with continued high levels of nutrients, river ecosystems can fail.
