It's that time again: Open Chalk Streams returns this April! These free in-person events are a great way to explore our local area. On the roster this time we have a fishing beat, a riparian garden, and even an active watercress farm.
Most of the events are for small groups, and they always prove popular. So if you'd like to come along, don't wait to book your tickets. It's also worth joining the waiting list for any that take your fancy. We hope to see you there!

EP - 1/2 : The North
Paul Whitehouse travels around England and Wales looking at the pressures affecting our rivers and waterways from water companies, intensive agriculture and growing population. Paul explores what is going on beneath the surface, why our rivers and waterways are in decline and what needs to be done to protect them.
In the first episode, Paul travels through the North of England looking at the impact water companies have on our rivers. He explores the change in the water industry since privatisation in 1989 and what regulations are in place when it comes to sewage discharge into our rivers.
He meets concerned locals in Yorkshire looking to highlight the health of the River Wharfe, a conservationist who warns of the ecological decline in iconic Lake Windemere, and the man at the front of the battle for our waterways, Feargal Sharkey.

EA Site Data Request Information for Water Framework Directive Phosphate/Ammonia Values.
For those of you who are taking part in the Angling Trust - Water Quality Monitoring Network and would like to obtain WFD target values as comparisons for your own readings then the information below may be helpful. This is by no means a complete list of all of the water bodies within the Loddon catchment but those probably being monitored by individuals or angling clubs.
You will need to supply information on the the stretch of river relative to your monitoring point from the list below, eg. (GB************), along with the main EA monitoring point (PLDR****), closest to your WQMN sample point. Remember, Phosphate & Ammonia levels are site specific based on the Altitude & Alkalinity of that stretch.
It would be useful to include a grid reference/map coordinate e.g SU???? ???? or 51.69875,-0.95365 for each of your WQMN monitoring points to aid in the information request for WFD Target Values for Phophate and Ammonia (If you checking for this). Remember there is no standards for Nitrates in rivers, only stillwaters!!!
