Hands-On River Science with the South East Rivers Trust

Join the South East Rivers Trust at the UK River Summit at their gazebo by the river for an exciting, interactive showcase of in-river and bankside citizen science techniques. Discover how you can monitor water quality and assess river health using a range of tools and survey methods.

What to Expect:

• Water Quality Monitoring – Get hands-on with field equipment used to measure pollution levels, helping to track and understand river health.

• Aquatic Invertebrate Surveys – Learn how freshwater invertebrates act as natural indicators of water quality, and how to survey for them.

• The EmRiver Table – Explore river processes with our dynamic, hands-on geomorphology model, demonstrating how water flow shapes the landscape.
