🌊 In the latest edition of The Water Magazine, you can read all about Eyes on the Water, a pioneering project that uses AI to revolutionise river health monitoring.

🤝This groundbreaking initiative is a collaborative effort led by WRc’s Amy Jones alongside Rain++ and NTU students, with funding from Natural England.

📸Thousands of citizen-submitted photos were analysed using advanced AI models to identify pollution sources, wildlife presence, and other key indicators of river health.

💡By automating the analysis of visual data, AI enables more frequent, accurate, and cost-effective monitoring, supplementing traditional methods.
