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!

Beautiful day today. I sampled the river Slaney just upstream of the old bridge on the swimming pool side. Results surprisingly good! (On my coffee break I might add) 😂.

I sampled Borodale this afternoon! Results similar to previous was undecided on 1 -2 or 2-5 plenty of agri upstream and heavy rain so went 2 to 5

Welcome @Noreen and @Lucy. If you would like some testing kits and a demo of how to do the test please let me know!

Did my first water test today. Bit fiddly & took longer than I expected. Should be a bit quicker next time. Results good “this waterbody has a very good ecological status”. 😊

Thanks Irene for showing me the ropes this morning! We did one location near Slaney nature walk I'm going to to Borodale and a couple of locations in town this week!!

If anyone is interested in carrying out some tests on water bodies in your area just let me know and I'll get the materials to you! To log your results you will need to join the ESRI group using the instructions attached and then download Survey123 from the app store.

Hi All,

so I have carried out two tests to get started! Nitrates were high but all the rest looked good.
