About us
Water Rangers is a non-profit focused on inspiring the public to get involved by collecting water data around their local rivers and lakes. Current data collection methods and reporting are mostly time consuming and manual. Water Rangers will encourage more people to collect data, teach them how to conduct experiments, easily analyse the data, and be able to recognize risks to their waterways. Communities, schools, and all those who are already collecting data will be able to organize more trips and expeditions to collect water samples and general observations without overburdening already stretched conservation authorities and riverkeepers to manage the data.

L'édition 2025 du Défi #AquaHacking se concentre sur un sujet essentiel : les impacts des activités minières et industrielles sur nos précieuses ressources en eau. 💧 Ces secteurs jouent un rôle clé dans notre économie, mais ils posent aussi des défis significatifs pour la santé de nos écosystèmes aquatiques. Cette année, nous invitons les jeunes innovateurs à s'attaquer à des enjeux cruciaux comme : 🐟 L’eutrophisation 🏭 Le ruissellement urbain 🚱 La contamination de l’eau et des sédiments 🦠 Les espèces aquatiques envahissantes 👥 La science citoyenne au service des lacs et des rivières Il est temps de réfléchir à des solutions novatrices qui peuvent aider à protéger nos cours d'eau tout en soutenant un développement durable. 💡 Participez au Défi AquaHacking 2025 et contribuez à façonner un avenir plus bleu pour tous: https://bit.ly/AHQC2025 Vous avez des questions quant aux enjeux? Assistez à notre session d’information virtuelle avec les porteurs d’enjeux le 23 septembre prochain : https://bit.ly/3MhLv8o Ce Défi est co-organisée par Regroupement des organismes de bassins versants du Québec (ROBVQ) et Réseau Environnement en partenariat avec Collectif Territoire | Projet lac Osisko Partenaires nationaux: Fondation de Gaspé Beaubien Foundation, RBC, Ovivo, Xerxes, McGill Dobson Centre for Entrepreneurship, Goudreau Gage Dubuc maintenant/now Lavery Avocats, Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP Les porteurs d'enjeux: Comité SER-UQAT, CTRI - Centre technologique des résidus industriels, Technosub, Agiro, Cteau - Centre des technologies de l'eau, Organisme de bassin versant Abitibi-Jamésie, Organisme de bassin versant du Témiscamingue, UbloVille de Rouyn Noranda, Cégep de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Centre d'interprétation de l'eau *Groupe d'éducation et d'écosurveillance de l'eau (G3E)

Hot off the press! Big thanks to Our Living Waters | Nos eaux vitales for interviewing us about our journey in stewarding the Business Case Guidebook and Toolkit for Community-Based Water Monitoring. We’re proud to be part of The Collaborative, working with partners to develop a resource that helps CBWM groups make a case for investment in their programs!

What a fantastic morning at the Community Water Lab at Zero Carbon Guildford! Lab Lead Alan Thorogood led Gigi and Will on our regular testing protocols. Brandon Mayuga from Affinity Water dropped by to collect some samples to process at their lab (for comparison). AND! Kat Kavanagh and Gigi tried out a brand new citizen science E. coli method Beth Baker from Mississippi State University uses! We'll be comparing these three methods to report back to catchment and national partners as part of the #CaSTCo project. #poweredbyCaSTCo

Water Rangers is part of the UK's national #CaSTCo project (https://castco.org), building collaboration so that community monitoring can be better integrated into river recovery. See below for our latest collaborative video about a recent blitz event in the Severn!
It was Water Rangers' pleasure to support the Teme catchment’s water blitz day! Together with Severn Rivers Trust, Severn Trent, and the Environment Agency, we tested 10 different citizen science tests for chemistry and bacteria. We tested samples with our chemistry methods, and took samples back to our Community Water Lab (at Zero Carbon Guildford) to test for E.coli. This work is powered by #CaSTCo (Catchment Systems Thinks Collaborative), a national collaborative effort creating a framework so that community monitoring is part of river recovery here in the UK! https://castco.org
