HOW HEALTHY ARE OUR RIVERS?

The Umgeni Water Board has recently set up, "Mini SASS", which is a community river health monitoring tool for South Africa. Mini SASS is a technique that can be used to measure the health of a river and the general quality of the water.

In this River Investigation there are interactive opportunities for you to learn and calculate the quality of your stream. We have set up exercises that you can take to a river and perform by yourself. It has been set up step by step so please follow the instructions and you will enjoy your Investigation of the River.
