Ribble staff water quality monitoring locations (using Citizen Science methods)

Ribble Rivers Trust's staff collect water quality data for a number of reasons: 1. At each of the 300+ sites that we survey each summer to assess the salmonid fish populations. To help build a picture of why certain fish results might be being observed. 2. As spot samples when carrying out any site visits or other activities next to a river. E.g. farm advice visits, education or engagement events, overseeing contractors, etc. 3. As part of monitoring of RRT's projects sites both pre- and post-works, to measure the impact the interventions have had on improving water quality. Which water quality parameters are being tested? Ribble Rivers Trust's staff test water samples for the following parameters*. The equipment and methods used are identical to those employed by the Trust's Citizen Scientists. 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 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.
