Leam Eco Hub does the Great UK Water Blitz

Join Leamington Eco Hub for the Great UK WaterBlitz 2026

This September, Leamington Eco Hub is joining communities across the country to take part in the Great UK WaterBlitz – a nationwide citizen science initiative led by Earthwatch Europe to monitor the health of our rivers and waterways.

We’re inviting local residents, families and volunteers to get involved and help build a picture of water quality in and around Leamington. By spending just a short time at a local water site, you’ll contribute valuable data that helps scientists, policymakers and communities better understand pollution levels and protect our rivers for the future.

Why it matters
Healthy rivers are essential for wildlife, climate resilience and community wellbeing – yet many UK waterways are under increasing pressure from pollution. The WaterBlitz empowers people to take action, turning local observations into national impact.

What to expect

• A friendly introduction to the WaterBlitz and why it matters
• Simple, guided water testing using Earthwatch kits (no experience needed)
• Time outdoors connecting with local nature and community
• The chance to contribute to real environmental research

Who can join?
Everyone is welcome – no scientific background required. Perfect for individuals, families, students or anyone curious about the environment.

Get involved
Whether you’re passionate about nature, concerned about local rivers, or just looking for a meaningful way to spend time outdoors, we’d love you to join us.

Together, we can make a difference – one water sample at a time.
