I am working on the Citizen Science campaign called 'Vang de Watermonsters' in close collaboration with Natuur & Milieu. This research aims to gain insight in the ecological water quality status of smaller waters in the Netherlands.
During my studies at Wageningen University I focused on soil and water quality. Next to that I developed a passion to educate others about my research. This combines perfectly in the Citizen Science campaign called 'Vang de Watermonsters' I work on. This research aims to gain insight in the ecological water quality status of smaller waters in the Netherlands. These smaller waters are often not monitored for the Water Framework Directive, however they are also supposed to be of good ecological quality in 2027. The use of citizen science makes it possible to gain insight in the large amount of waters in the Netherlands. On top of that, the use of Citizen Science gives oppertunity to increase the knowledge and awareness of water quality by the general public. This project is an collaboration with Natuur & Milieu, more information about the project can be found on: www.vangdewatermonsters.nl
