Implementation of Project

To carry out our River Guardianz project, we intend to carry out river patrol along the stretch of river on a fortnightly basis. During our patrol duty, we intend to clean up the river by cleaning up the river. We also intend to educate the public by talking to the residents and passerby in the area so as to encourage them to keep the waterways clean.
As this aims to create environmental protection and conservation awareness, we will not use brochures to educate the public as the residents may discard the brochures after reading it thus creating more wastes.
Thus we have decided to put up A2 size posters along the stretch of Sungei Whampoa River to educate and remind the public against polluting the environment.We aim to attract the younger generation in our save-the Earth movement. Thus we will continue to use our blog to constantly update them on the findings based on our patrol duty and other activities that we may have. We hope that this can entice the younger generation to visit our blogs and find out what we do. We hope that we can encourage and motivate some youngsters to join us in our save-the –environment movement.
As River Guardianz by informing the relevant authorities should we chance upon any major source of pollutions so that actions can be taken to rectify the situation.
We will also collect water samples from the river on a monthly basis and do some water quality testing of the water in the river.
We will use the data loggers that we have in our school to help us in the testing of the water quality. The data logger allows us to test the acidity of water, oxygen level, temperature of water as well as clarity of water in the river.
We will carry out the test once a month and we will analyse the results of the findings at the end of the year.
We intend to carry out the project during the June Holidays as it would be the best time for us to collect data and analyze it. We can also make use of this time to interact with the public which will make it easier us to explain the need of their cooperation to keep the river and its surrounding clean.
