The Trust carry out regular water sampling and analysis along with invertebrate monitoring on various sites throughout the Six Mile catchment. This information is recorded to identify the water quality and possible background pollution, and where necessary passed to the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) Water Management Team for formal investigation, providing valuable assistance to maintain and improve the water quality.

The monitoring has identified pollution hot spots and enable improvements to be made; improvements are clearly shown by the ongoing sampling results with an upward trend.

The Six Mile Water Trust choose Onset HOBO U24-001 Water Conductivity Loggers from Tempcon for their water quality sampling.

Jim Gregg, Chairman of the Six Mile Water Trust commented: “The HOBO Conductivity Logger provides a 24 hr 365 day facility to monitor in real time, stream conductivity levels round the clock to help identify incidents of sporadic pollution, that otherwise would go undetected. They're easily set up using the HOBO software, providing graphical results.”
