Water Quality Data

Water Quality Monitoring Network 2nd Annual Report published by the Angling Trust.

• The work of the PBA is featured in the Test & Itchen case study (pages 8 - 13). The strength of the Test and Itchen data is that testing is done every month not just when something looks suspicious. 45 Test and Itchen volunteers contributed an amazing 286 test results. Our 9 water quality volunteers make a significant contribution to this data and the way we present our results on our website gets a mention too.
