In a first for the UK, Proteus Instruments and its partners presented a series of three webinars exploring the current situation and how Proteus aims to provide the 'silver bullet' to monitoring and protecting the rivers & bathing waters from sewage and agricultural pollution.

Our webinars come with a warning: Proteus is a very disruptive technology and it will transform your perception of how the UK can monitor it's degraded rivers for pollution and hence rely less on manual and ineffective water sampling.

This great video from New Scientist shows how our Proteus Instruments sensors are being used in the Smarter Water Catchment Programme between Thames Water, Earthwatch and Wild Oxfordshire in the Evenlode catchment.

Testament to how the Proteus can be used as part of a network to provide real-time data on what's really happening in our rivers.
