River or stream project
Explore Your Local River.
Look for small invertebrates that are indicators of clean water. Mayfly and stonefly larvae indicate clean water; but bloodworms can survive in quite polluted water, and tubifex prefer it!

Send your findings to your local water company, and/or tell us in the Ideas/ Feedback area.

Find out about volunteer groups cleaning up rivers and waterways, safely. Join in for a rewarding day out! Have a look at the making connections - water page for links to conservation websites.
