Laugharne Citizen Science started testing the River Corran and Mackerel Lake stream in Nov 2024. The first year results have been analysed and a report produced which you can download via the link below. No major issues but the report covers this in some details. Thank you to all who took part and supported the group to enable us to do this important work . We are carrying on with the Corran and Mackerel lake stream and have just started testing the River Taf and the estuary.

Below are the results of our 2nd test of the River Taf. Now included are dissolved Oxygen, PH and EC.

We started monthly testing of the River Taf today. Anyone who want to help with water collection please let us know.

Charts below show a rolling 12 months results and also the comparison of Nov 24 to Nov 25. Before we collected water there has been 2 weeks of heavy rain , and the high nitrate could be due to the amount of slurry spread on fields before the closed period in mid-October.

Here are the twelve months results. As David said thanks to all the collectors and testers. We are planning to start the estuary and the River Taf soon- if you can volunteer, particularly with sample water collection (pairs of two required) please contact David or myself.

River Corran and Mackerel Lake Stream (The Laques). Below are the results of the water testing the group have been carrying out once a month since Nov 2024. So far the results suggest the river water is of reasonable quality, but we are only half way through the initial 12 months of testing. We are looking to start testing the Taf and Laugharne estuary in the next few months, so if you want to be involved please do join us. The annual membership fee is only £10 a year, we hav

Ammonia No results for Ammonia in Feb testing Nitrate Results were in line with previous . Phosphate Phosphate one sharp increase at site 2. This is still early days in the project. Once we have completed 12 months we will then have a base for future years. Thanks to all who helped collect samples, test the samples and, maybe most importantly, helped fund this project.

Laugharne Citizen Science Group is a dedicated team of volunteers who are passionate about monitoring and preserving the quality of the river water in Laugharne. By conducting regular water testing and observing the wildlife in and around the River, the group aims to provide valuable information to the community and raise awareness about environmental conservation. After the water has been collected we use 3 tests to check the water quality- Nitrate, Ammonia and phosphate. We
