CaSTCo Water blitz comparing bacteria and chemistry methods in the Severn

Описание: On 25 June 2024, volunteers and partners in the Teme catchment (Shropshire and Worcestershire) helped CaSTCo partners collect samples to test 10+ citizen science water testing methods. CaSTCo is the Catchment. Systems Thinking Cooperative, ensuring people are at the heart of river recovery through integrated citizen science.

A special thank you to our volunteers: this would not be possible without your devotion to taking care of rivers!

Methods tested include: Severn Trent lab testing, Fluidion, IDEXX Colilert, IDEXX Tecta, Aquagenex, EA YSI Probe (multi-parameter), Hanna Checker (phosphates), Hach teststrips (nitrates), Kyoritsu Packtest (phosphate-phosphorus and nitrate-nitrogen), pen-type conductivity meter, and turbidity tubes.
