Every year YEE office team goes for a day-trip for the World Water Monitoring Day. It is a good way to go a bit out of the office and get closer to nature.

WWMD is a quite simple worldwide initiative: you order the water monitoring kit on the website, go to some water body, analyze the water following the steps explained in the instructions and you obtain the results of the quality of water. WWMD is an international project so you can share the results with participating communities around the world through the website.

This year we decided to go by train to Benešov. From there we walked two kilometers to the castle of Konopiště. We walked for the whole day, analyzing the water of the lake and the streams around the castle. After obtaining the results and making a picnic for lunch, we took a train to Čtyřkoly. There we analysed the water of the river Sázava. The day after, we logged in on the WWMD website and uploaded the results we obtained.

It was a nice activity, which brought us closer to the environmental research and protection. It also served YEE office team as team building activity.

And you? Are you planning to join WWMD this year?
