Ribble Citizen Science monitoring locations

Ribble Rivers Trust's Citizen Scientists collect water quality data for a number of reasons: 1. As part of our RiverBlitzes: a 1-day event where 10-15 locations across the same waterbody catchment are sampled, to home in on sources of pollution. 2. As part of monthly monitoring of RRT's projects sites both pre- and post-works, to measure the impact the interventions have had on improving water quality. 3. As part of monthly “surveilance” monitoring by a community group to monitor the health of their local rivers, including to complement or fill in the gaps in RRT's own monitoring. Which water quality parameters are being tested? Ribble Rivers Trust's Citizen Scientists test water samples for the following parameters*: Temperature (degrees C). Equipment used: HI-98129 Pocket EC/TDS and pH Tester, Low Range pH (pH units). Equipment used: HI-98129 Pocket EC/TDS and pH Tester, Low Range Electrical conductivity (uS). Equipment used: HI-98129 Pocket EC/TDS and pH Tester, Low Range Total dissolved solids (ppm). Equipment used: HI-98129 Pocket EC/TDS and pH Tester, Low Range Orthophosphate as P (PO4-P) (ppm). Equipment used: HI-713 Low Range Phosphate Checker for Saltwater and Freshwater Aquariums | Hanna Instruments UK, as per the best practice guidance set out by CaSTCo (Method audit: Phosphate – Hanna Checker - CastCo) Unionised ammonia (NH3) (ppm). Equipment used: HI-700 Ammonia Low Range Colorimeter - Checker HC (0.00 to 3.00ppm), utilising CaSTCo's best practice principles for the similar phosphate checker (see above). Turbidity (FTU). Equipment used: HI-93703-11 Portable ISO Compliant Turbidity Meter with Data Logging and PC Connectivity E.coli (cfu/100ml). Equipment used: R-CARD® EC - E. Coli - Rapid Test - Accurate Count - Carton of 500 – Roth Biosciences, LLC *Note that there will be samples - especially those collected prior to March 2025 - that were not tested for all parameters. Why can you not see the raw data? Landowners allow our Citizen Scientists to access their land on the provision that the data collected is not shared in the public domain. RRT & partners are working closely with landowners and businesses to remedy pollution sources identified by the data. To publish the raw data could lead to a breakdown of trust and prevent improvements from being delivered. To request access to the raw data, contact [e-mail], stating the purpose for which you require the data. We will assess each request on a case-by-case basis.
