Little Ouse and Thet Sub-catchment Partnership - The East Anglian Brecks have 28% of all UK rare species and with the area having the lowest rainfall in the UK, water is at a premium!

Being still on sick leave and having someone drive me to the venue which is very local, gave me the opportunity to accept a very short notice invite to the second Little Ouse and Thet sub-catchment partnership meeting; which is an expansion of the main CamEO partnership.

CamEO group expands to include Little Ouse Headwaters Project

Today was avery interesting day as I was able to give a presentation of Fresh Water Watch and then after the training video and quiz, provided practical training of Rob Martyr. Rob is the newly appointed Conservation Manager to the Little Ouse Headwaters Project. Rob will be recruiting further volunteers and potentially monitoring five+ sites on this ecologically important wetland conservation area. Upstream and adjacent are Alder Carr wetland woods, reed beds and grazing areas which are under great threat in this wonderful area of boarderland between Norfolk and Suffolk.

Early results show increased N & P at sewage treatment works outfall Fornham All Saints

Hi

The uploading of these results have been delayed by the problems with FWW i-Phone App and so have been manually input through the website at a later date.

Two sites have now been surveyed above and below a major sewage treatment works outfall on the River Lark, although this is just a single survey; the sites were within 300m of each other and taken within an hour of each other.

The Upstream site had a result of N = 5-10 And P = 0.05-0.1
