Using Suspended Solids Captured by Citizen Scientists to Indicate Effective Locations to Target Measures to Mitigate Urban Diffuse Pollution

Catchment Partnerships in London would work with volunteers to collect suspended solid samples on tributaries of the Thames in London. The output would be a pollutant profile for each river with a known relationship to suspended solids as a proxy. This would be used to highlight the areas that are worst affected by urban runoff and where intervention, such as SuDS and sediment traps, would be most effectively targeted on each waterbody.
