What if we could see our rivers in a whole new way? 🏞️

That's exactly what we'll be exploring at this year's River Summit & Festival 2026 in Henley-on-Thames.

The event brings together environmental leaders, river advocates, citizen scientists, regulators, technology specialists and passionate communities, all focused on one shared goal: healthier rivers and better-informed decisions for the future.

📍 Join the Xylem team on Friday 4th September as we share how innovative monitoring technologies are helping to transform our understanding of river health.

🎤 12:15 - 12:40 | Testing the Waters Programme - Chris Dawson will join fellow industry experts to demystify the impact of Section 82 of the Environment Act 2021.

Discover:
✅ What continuous river monitoring means in practice
✅ The data that will become publicly available
✅ How to interpret river health information with confidence
✅ Live monitoring demonstrations throughout the day

🎤 3:30 - 4:00 | Council Chamber Programme - James Chapman and local citizen scientist Wilson Phillips will present:
"From Outfall to Insight: High-Resolution Mapping of Thames Water Quality"

Using a Surfbee uncrewed surface vehicle, the team collected high-resolution water quality data along a 3 km stretch of the River Thames downstream of Little Marlow STW, revealing how treated effluent mixes within the river and how tributaries and surrounding land use influence water quality downstream.

The session showcases how innovative monitoring technology and citizen science can work together to deliver deeper, more dynamic insights into river health.

💡 Whether you're interested in river restoration, continuous monitoring, environmental policy, citizen science or the future of water quality management, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

💧 Real-time water quality data is now public!

We're proud to support the Reservoir Center's new dashboard: https://water-quality.reservoircenter.org/

Ten monitoring sites were deployed along the Anacostia, Potomac, and Shenandoah Rivers with YSI EXO2s Sondes, tracking dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, conductivity, turbidity, and more, so local watershed groups and communities can stay connected to their waterways.

A big thanks to the partners who made it happen: Xylem, Anacostia Watershed Society, Anacostia Riverkeeper, Potomac Riverkeeper Network, and Shenandoah Riverkeeper!

The Mississippi River isn’t just a big ole body of water; it’s part of life for millions of people, wildlife, and the communities along its path. That’s why understanding how much water flows through the river and how its quality changes is so important for flood preparedness, clean water, and healthy habitats.

In our latest blog, we share a look at how new approaches are helping scientists gather better information about water flow and quality on this iconic river. From better forecasts to smarter decisions about the land and water we share, there’s something in this for anyone who cares about the environment and the places we live.
