WaterBlitz \u201921 offers four days to test surface water and support research for more sustainable water governance.<\/p><p>During the weekend of 7 to 10 May, participants can test freshwater resources in Luxembourg such as rivers, ponds and lakes. 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. \u201cThe WaterBlitz is already organised for the second time in Luxembourg. The event in 2019 motivated more than 80 volunteers to collect over 100 data points in about 50 fresh water surfaces,\u201d explains Karl Pickar, the doctoral candidate leading the project. \u201cThis second WaterBlitz aims to enrich this database. Recurring data collection is important to identify changes and for a more detailed and reliable overview.\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>\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"how-does-it-work\"\n    >\nHow does it work?<\/h3>\n<p>Participants need to register on the webpage of <a href=\"https:\/\/freshwaterwatch.thewaterhub.org\/fr\/node\/add\/1-4-manage-system-events-partici?field_user_event_registration=110526\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Earthwatch<\/a> until <a href=\"https:\/\/freshwaterwatch.thewaterhub.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" 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.
