The UK Freshwater Quality Research Programme, funded by NERC and Defra, will host the next webinar on Wednesday July 3 at 12:00. Dr Vicky Bell and Dr Stephen Lofts (UK CEH) from the Long-Term Large-Scale Freshwater Ecosystems (LTLS-FE) project, along with other team members, will give an update about the project. The webinars are designed to help promote communications and interactions between researchers, the policy community, business and practitioners who can all shape future UK freshwater quality.

The collaborative LTLS-FE project seeks to develop a model that will use drivers to predict how chemical inputs, river quality and river health will change in the context of different ‘pathways’, or scenarios of change in society and climate. By doing this, we will provide a range of projections of future river quality and health. These projections will help scientists and policymakers to understand the main factors controlling river quality and health. This will help them to develop solutions to manage and ameliorate possible changes in the factors that influence river quality and health, with the goal of maintaining and improving the state of UK rivers in a changing world.
