WATERBLITZ: EMPOWERING CITIZEN SCIENCE DATA THROUGH COMPARISON

CaSTco Citizen Science sampling enables us to monitor our river and its catchment on a regular basis. Occasionally we organise a Water Blitz: a mass sampling event by volunteers within a set time period to establish patterns and trends.
Decision makers don't always trust citizen science data so WUF staff carried out their own sampling at the same time and place as the Water Blitz and then sent all the results to an accredited laboratory in order to be able to compare and evaluate the different results. On top of all that we also used this opportunity to gather E DNA samples which were sent to Cardiff University
