NETLAKE Citizen Science
Welcome to the NETLAKE Citizen Science web page. Here, you will find all the information you need to take part in the NETLAKE Citizen Science water quality initiative, which runs in the summer of 2016 and 2017.
The NETLAKE Citizen Science water quality survey will be performed by citizens interested in their local lake, with help from local scientists.
Together, we looked at water temperature, water colour, how fast the lake community can decompose dead material and how much microplastic is present in the lake in 2016.
For 2017 we want to go deeper! We will detemine how much material 'snows down' in our lakes. For more information check out the protocols and scientific background.
And you’re not alone! As of May 2016, we have already 25 lakes participating across Europe:
