Sustainable Arnside Water Sub Group

Overview of Key Interests and Activities

Introduction

The Water Sub Group of Sustainable Arnside is committed to advancing environmental sustainability through a focus on two principal areas: water quality and water power. Our initiatives are aimed at both local and broader scales, reflecting our dedication to the well-being of the Arnside community and the wider UK.

Water Quality Monitoring

An essential part of our work involves monitoring and testing water quality in and around Arnside, as well as comparing our findings with data from other regions across the United Kingdom. We undertake regular sampling and analysis to ensure the safety and cleanliness of our water sources, helping to protect local ecosystems and public health.

By benchmarking our local results against national data, we gain valuable insights into environmental trends and challenges. This comparative approach enables us to identify areas for improvement and to advocate for effective water management practices.

Exploring Water Power

The sub group is also deeply interested in the sustainable generation of electricity using water power. We are exploring opportunities for harnessing local water resources to produce clean, renewable energy. Our work includes evaluating potential sites, technologies, and partnerships that could make water-powered electricity a viable and beneficial option for Arnside.
