Every month, we'll feature a guest expert who will share their knowledge, answer your questions, and initiate engaging discussions. Plus, they might even have a demonstration or activity planned!
For our first Landcare Circle, we'll focus on water testing. Bring your water samples from your dam, water tank, well, bore, or stream in clean containers (plastic or glass, no metal, please). We'll need a minimum of 300 mL for testing.
Instructions for Water Sampling:
Rinse the container twice with the water you want tested.
Take the sample by dipping the container into a deeper section of the dam/stream. You can tie the bottle to a long stick if necessary.
Label your sample with:
Your name
Contact details
Type of sample (bore, dam, etc.)
Location of sample (GPS if possible)
Date of sample collection
We'll primarily test for salinity (EC) but can also conduct basic testing for heavy metals if required.
Come join us for a morning of learning, networking, and community-building. See you there!
