The University and Earthwatch will provide participants with three tools: A water testing kit with information leaflet, the application FreshWater Watch to record the test results and the web platform, on which the data can be accessed.<\/p><p>With this event, researchers work towards a more sustainable water governance. \u201cOur objective is to gather as much data as possible to get a high-resolution overview of water quality in rivers, lakes and streams throughout Luxembourg,\u201d explains Karl Pickar, PhD candidate at the University of Luxembourg leading the project. \u201cThis enables us to generate new knowledge for scientists, citizens and policy-makers, and to foster experience-based learning.\u201d In addition, the WaterBlitz provides citizens with information about their local environment and empowers them to participate in research for more sustainable water governance.<\/p><p><strong>How does it work?<\/strong><\/p><p>Participants need to register on the webpage of <a href=\"https:\/\/earthwatch.org.uk\/get-involved\/waterblitz\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Earthwatch<\/a> until <a href=\"https:\/\/freshwaterwatch.thewaterhub.org\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">FreshWater Watch<\/a>to receive their free water testing kit. The kit handout explains the data collection process in detail. Elements that are tested include nitrates and phosphates.
