The Big River Watch for World Rivers Day

This Sunday September 24th is World Rivers Day and The Rivers Trust is launching the Big River Watch. In just three easy steps, you can contribute to a national data set that will help build a picture of river health across the country.

Step 1 - SIGN UP download the app and sign up to take part.

Step 2 - TAKE PART Pick a riverside location to join others around the country in collecting data about the health of your local river. You can complete the survey at your favourite local spot, or choose to get to know somewhere new! Visit between the 22nd and the 24th September 2023, and spend just 15 minutes observing and answering the questions on the survey. Report the things that you see - from wildlife and plants, to the flow speed of the water and whether you can spot any pollution.

Step 3 - UPLOAD Upload your survey. Results will be gathered and data specialists will get busy analyzing the information so that The Rivers Trust and other environmental organizations can be better armed in the fight for healthier, wilder rivers.
