Join our Thames WaterBlitz

Help us understand fresh water near you

We need your help to understand the water near you.

If we want to manage our waterbodies effectively, we need to understand where fresh water habitats are at risk and where wildlife is thriving. However, in many places there isn’t enough data to give a clear picture of water quality. There are thousands of waterbodies in Europe and not enough scientists to go around. Thanks to WaterBlitz volunteers, we are starting to build a much more detailed picture of water quality across Europe.

Spring Thames Waterblitz 2020

We are sorry to announce that, in light of government advisories as the situation with Covid-19 develops, we have taken the decision to postpone the WaterBlitz until Autumn 2020.

Exact dates will be confirmed in due course. Please follow the latest government advice to ensure that you stay safe. If you are looking for other ways to stay connected to nature while self-isolating, please sign up to the Earthwatch newsletter where we’ll be sharing plenty of ideas over the coming weeks.
