Help protect your local river
Save the date – Spring Water Watch 21st – 30th April.
Water Watch is a nationwide survey that takes place every spring and autumn to help us assess the overall health of our rivers by recording what we observe in and around them.
Between Friday 21st and Sunday 30th April 2023 you can take part in Spring Water Watch by spending just 15 minutes observing your local river and completing our survey.
This nationwide health check will help us understand the scale of threats and challenges our waterways face which require urgent attention, to help develop and implement effective solutions – before it’s too late.
To get involved, go to the Planet Patrol website.
