River Watch: Citizen Science for Cleaner Water.
Info: Our rivers and streams are vital for biodiversity, food production, and healthy communities, yet many local waterways are increasingly impacted by pollution from agricultural runoff, sewage leaks, hydrocarbons, and other contaminants. This talk explores the growing role of citizen science in monitoring water quality, highlighting how community groups are stepping in where action has been lacking. Hear about the work of the Cork River Alliance and discover how local people and the farming community can help protect and restore our rivers through grassroots monitoring and advocacy.
