Water Quality & Safety Checks

We’re inviting visitors to share their personal experiences with local rivers, helping South West Water gain valuable insights into how these rivers are used for recreational activities. By collecting real-time feedback, South West Water can better understand community needs and work towards securing inland bathing water designation, ensuring the rivers are safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Interactive signage by river in the South West of England for visitors to share their feedback on water quality and safety, with South West Water.

Project Objectives:

  • Gauge whether people feel safe swimming in the rivers
  • Evaluate river cleanliness based on firsthand accounts from those using them
  • Understand visitors' motivations for coming to the rivers and how they travelled there

Project Outcomes:

  • So far saved 29 staff days by automating the feedback process, eliminating the need for manual data collection
  • 47% of users reported that the rivers were clean during their visit
  • Users provided insights on why they didn’t feel safe in the water, mentioning concerns such as pollution and tidal conditions

Hello EA Outcomes:

“This work is an important step in understanding what is required to receive official bathing water status for rivers in the South West.”

Director of Natural Resources
