Don't forget to join up and log your details on the Freshwater platform

Here is a map of the results so far and the overall sample quality data!! Well done to all our samplers!!

Tested a little stream near our home. Phosphates 0.2, Nitrates 2
Will revisit it again this week!

2 sites this morning including 1 new site at Edermine. (Low tide)
Noticeable difference in water quality for N. Borodale not as good. And again full of litter

Hi all I sampled the Kilgibbon stream which runs very close to my house (And other houses) this evening. Moderate status. A lot going on at this small stream. I suspect septic tanks, agri and roads.

Tested again tonight after a 5 week break! Noticeable increase in the growth by the bank of the stream compared to last photo & test on 7 May. Water test results the same N=1, P =<0.02. “Your dataset indicates that this waterbody has a very good ecological status” 😊

We'll be chatting about the project this weekend at the Climate Cafe @Dustyboy in Enniscorthy, Sunday 4th June at 11am!

Lots of sampling done recently... largely good, nitrates a little high in some places.... big sampling plans again next week

Sampled Slaney at Old Bridge and Borodale. Good and Moderate.
Borodale lots of rubbish 😕

I sampled the same spot today as I did a fortnight ago. Same results N: 1, P: 0.02. “this waterbody has a very good ecological status”. I also removed more Skunk Cabbage 🥬 non native invasive species upstream.

Another test this evening, water quality good although the nitrates were a little high!
