This month on Ours to Protect we are splashing around the Summer filled waters of the North West with fishermen, paddlers and swimmers of all kinds. Looking at the life that inhabits our waterways is one of the best and simplest ways to tell if they are healthy and Dara Timpson of Inland fisheries will be scooping up creepy crawlies that let us know how clean our water is. Luke Kenny of the Local Authorities Water Programme will pass on a few tips for ensuring that our rivers and lakes remain at their best and Aga Piwowarczyc explains how we can all use our water connection for good.
