Poor water quality is fast becoming one of the UK’s biggest environmental issues, capturing public attention in an unprecedented way.

From chemical and toxic metal pollution to pathogens, sewage and microplastics, our waterways are rapidly deteriorating, impacting both human health and the ecosystems that rely on them to survive.

We’ve taken matters into our own hands

Planet Patrol has been working hard to develop a scientifically robust testing programme to address the lack of data available on water quality across the UK.

‘What Lies Beneath’ will be the most comprehensive people-powered data collection activation of its kind – and we need your help!

You don’t need a scientific background. Your involvement will give us the insights needed to push for more ambitious standards for water quality across the UK.
