Come join us and the Environment Agency (EA) trialing our newly developed AQuA Citizen Science E. coli test! The test allows citizen scientists to generate data at home on how much E. coli is in their local water body. Working with you and the EA we aim to understand:
When we use the exact same sample, how close are the results for E. coli generated by the AQuA citizen science method compared to the EA's 'gold standard' test?
Does the way AQuA citizen scientists collect a sample (via a bucket on a string from the river bank) make a significant difference in E. coli numbers relative to how the EA collects their sample?
When: 16 September, 2025 (9:00-16:00)
