Are you interested in finding out more about the water quality in the streams, rivers, ponds, and lakes in your neighbourhood and how it compares with different regions in Europe?
Then get involved and join our WaterBlitz Luxembourg, which takes place from 20th to 23rd September. You will receive an easy-to-use free water test kit and be able to share your results directly via the Freshwater Watch app. All findings will be freely accessible on the Freshwater Watch website. To register, follow this link: https://earthwatch.org.uk/get-involved/waterblitz.
The more people participate, the clearer will be our understanding of the status of our surface water bodies in Luxembourg. Therefore, invite you family, friends, and colleagues, and spread the news via Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter by using #WaterBlitz.
The WaterBlitz Luxembourg is organized by the University of Luxembourg in collaboration with Earthwatch and runs concurrently with three other events in London, Dublin and Paris. The WaterBlitzes are funded by the Royal Bank of Canada as part of its ongoing commitment to local water quality.
The WaterBlitz Luxembourg is part of the NEXUS CITIZEN SCIENCE project of the University of Luxembourg. The aim of the project is to collaborate with interested groups in Luxembourg and to co-design and launch Citizen Science projects. Participatory water monitoring should generate new knowledge for citizens, science, and policy, and foster experience-based learning from engaging with water and the environment for more sustainability in Luxembourg.
If you have any questions, please get in touch (karl.pickar@uni.lu).
Kind regards
The WaterBlitz Team
