About HoTWater
About the HoTWater App
The HoTWater app aims to provide river users with information on E. coli bacteria levels in the river at Henley-on-Thames. These bacteria levels are an indicator of water quality and potential health risks.
Unlike designated bathing sites, Henley-on-Thames does not have designated bathing status, meaning environmental agencies do not routinely monitor water quality in this section of the river.
Understanding Water Quality Monitoring
In designated bathing areas, water quality is monitored regularly during the bathing season to help the public assess the risks of entering the water. These tests measure bacteria including E.coli, with results reported in colony-forming units per 100ml ( cfu/100ml ).
Environmental agencies classify water quality into the following categories:
• Excellent – EC: ≤500 cfu/100ml
• Good – EC: ≤1000 cfu/100ml
• Poor – Worse than Good
If water quality is rated Poor, authorities advise against swimming.
How the HoTWater App Fills the Gap
Since no official monitoring exists for Henley-on-Thames, local volunteers test river water at multiple sites on this stretch of the river. These tests use a Fluidion Alert 1 analyser to asses the water samples taken from the Thames( see Certification below).
While we apply DEFRA classifications to our results for reference, it’s important to note that official classifications are based on seasonal data, not single samples. (See DEFRA page )
Why This Matters
The River Thames in this area receives wastewater from treatment plants in Reading, Wargrave, and Henley and flows through residential, commercial, and agricultural zones. Many individuals, clubs, and organisations are concerned about water quality and the lack of up-to-date official data to guide their activities on the river.
The HoTWater app aims to bridge this information gap, helping river users make more informed decisions about their water-based activities.
