An early morning walk before school to collect a water sample from the Campaspe River.
We test the water each month to check the health of the river. There are four tests- pH, electrical conductivity (salinity), turbidity and reactive phosphorus. We also have to record the temperature of both the water and the air.
It is a lot of fun. As well as looking pretty, the river is quite healthy and makes a great habitat for all the creatures, fish and animals that depend on the river.
