The 2022 WaterBlitz hosted by DCU’s Water Institute is taking place from 7th – 10th October 2022 in conjunction with EarthWatch Europe.

The project, kindly sponsored by Smart Dublin, Dublin City Council and the Local Authority Waters Programme, encourages members of the public to test the water in rivers, lakes, streams and canals so that a snapshot of the health and state of Ireland’s waterways can be taken.

The aim is to empower citizens to gather information on the status of water bodies nationwide, celebrating the cleanest water bodies and identifying pollution hotspots.

Tidy Towns groups, river and canal clean up groups, environmental groups and any community organisations that care about our natural waters, are invited to take part.
