In 2024 some schools will value add to their monthly water quality monitoring by opting in to participate in Pesticide Watch, a nation-wide program run by Brady Hamilton at Deakin University helping communities identify pesticides in their local waterways through citizen-science.

Find out more about the program by watching this video, about the testing procedure by watching this video, about the sampling protocol in this guide or watching this webinar we recorded with Brady all about pesticides and the research project.

The 2023 results have been published in this summary report.
