Water quality testing

Sharon Heeman —

Jocelyn Papprill from Ecan helping us test the water quality of Kowai river.

We had a fabulous morning with Jocelyn and Matt(Enviroschools) looking for micro invertebrates species and testing our water quality. The test came out 'fair'.  Ideally we would like it to be at 'excellent'. This is something we can work on together and brainstorm ideas to support our waterway.


We used magnifying glasses to examine invertebrates found. It was a great opportunity to be a scientist. We conducted a survey to find out how many species were in our river.
