So sad to see the water run off from roads and fields polluting the Vale Brook which flows into the River Chess in Chesham. Yes, that clear water above is what a chalk stream looks like, the rest is pollution.

A portion of a Roman mosaic floor with geometric patterns
A few weeks ago I was honoured with a peek at part of the remains from Latimer villa on the #RiverChess. A brief glimpse into what must have been a wonderful settlement in the 3rd/4th century.

News of changing neutrient neutrality laws and planning permits have been a source of concern this week.
Walking the #RiverChess with @ThreeRiversDC talking about access and future collaborations, really highlights what we are trying to protect.

A great partnership day on the #riverchess fantastically guided by @Hillfortian to see some of the heritage feature first hand. The Lidar imagery produced by 'Beacons of the Past' has uncovered a treasure trove of human history. Go check it out!...

We're out with #CitizenScientists on the #RiverChess today, carrying out our first post-restoration #ModularRiverSurvey work at Latimer.
Following a tour from Rivers Officer Adrian, we've already been treated to some superb woodland landscapes and wildlife.

As part of our aims to improve water quality in the #RiverChess, we have sensors in the river at Rickmansworth, which have actually detected daily patterns of nocturnal activity from #SignalCrayfish through heightened turbidity levels (see tweet 1/4 for graph 📈).

Beautiful day on the #RiverChess with @BBOWT and @RiverChess training 10 new Water Vole surveyors. The R.Chess has one of the last endemic populations of Water Voles across the Chilterns Chalk Streams. Sightings are rare, but signs were evident. Many thanks to our new volunteers.

Happy Friday! Amazing what longer & warmer days can do.
April showers are continuing to provid good flows along the Chess and are vital for groundwater recharge.

Plenty of rain over recent days has resulted in the fastest water flow rates recorded by our team in nearly 2 years of monthly monitoring on the #RiverChess
Heavy #rainfall caused a drop in specific conductance and varying dissolved oxygen as seen in our Chesham sensors too.
