Water Quality Testing

Join us for an interactive and educational experience at Cody Dock, where you'll learn the vital skills of water quality testing!

This hands-on session will explore the significance of clean water and teach you how to measure key parameters that ensure its safety.

Rivers are vital arteries for local communities, offering potential sources of clean water, recreational opportunities like water sports and leisure activities, and essential connections with nature and wildlife.

These river habitats are crucial for urban ecology, supporting a rich diversity of species within our cities. Protecting and restoring our rivers, especially as access is often restricted by development and industrial expansion is essential for both the health of our environment and the well-being of our communities.

• Hands-on experience in water quality testing and environmental monitoring.
• Valuable knowledge about the importance of clean water and river ecosystems.
• An opportunity to contribute to real-world environmental data collection.
• A deeper understanding of the River Lea's significance for local communities and urban ecology.
• A chance to connect with like-minded individuals and make a positive impact.
• A fun and educational day spent beside the river.

You'll receive an induction and supervision.

This engaging event is perfect for students, environmental enthusiasts, and anyone eager to make a tangible difference in protecting our local waterways. No prior experience is necessary, just a passion for the environment and a willingness to learn!
