Please note that, although the principles of this activity remain the same, NWAD has now rebranded Streamwatch as H2OWatch. H2OWatch is a project to encourage involvement in chemical analysis using simple analytical test kits which can be taken into the field to measure various parameters and thus provide information on the health of local streams and ponds. The kits can be used to measure temperature, pH, alkalinity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate/nitrite and phosphate. We have recently purchased several test kits and these are available on loan (free of charge) to schools, community groups and other organisations in the region. Please follow the links below if you require further information or would like to borrow one of these kits: |
Streamwatch was demonstrated at the Manchester Science Festival.
