The museum makes regular assessments of our public spaces and this document is available on request, but this is only for teachers’ information and does not constitute an official risk assessment. Pre-visits are free of charge and do not need to be booked. Please inform staff at the Information Desk of the nature of your visit so they can help you make the most of your time in the galleries. Organising your group Split your class into small groups for working in the galleries and visiting the shop. Please ensure that you have at least one adult for every 10 pupils and that the adults accompany them at all times. Please ensure your pupils know the following information: • work quietly – other groups and members of the public will be using the museum • please do not lean on the glass cases • only use pencils in the galleries. Teachers should provide clipboards and pencils and photocopy gallery activity sheets PRIOR to their visit so that each pupil/group has a copy for use in the museum. 5 © Museum of London Docklands 2015 Pre-visit activities We highly recommend doing one or more of these activities before the session. • lead a class discussion about pollution. Discuss types of pollution and how this pollution could get into our rivers. Consider pollutants washing off roads, coming from our homes and schools, and how London’s outdated sewage system is often overloaded and overflows into rivers. See teacher notes in River Pollution Today section below to support this • ask pupils to plan the timetable for their day out at the Museum of London Docklands. This could include planning travel arrangements and timings, helping to write letters home to parents, discussing what they could bring in their packed lunches, talking about suitable clothes to wear etc • use the internet to find out about the London Docklands or the River Thames and how they have changed over time • if your school is close to a river or other watercourse, take your class to observe it to see what evidence they can find of pollution. 6 © Museum of London Docklands 2015 River pollution today The River Lea is London’s second river, flowing from the Chiltern Hills to the River Thames. It is a vital habitat for wildlife and source of London’s drinking water, yet every day we pollute it. There are four main sources of pollution that affect city rivers. Misconnections Two types of drainage system exist in London: • combined, where all flows go to foul sewers and are treated at a sewage works • separate, where clean rainfall drains directly to river, sea or ground, and foul sewage drains to a sewage treatment plant Problems occur when plumbing is incorrectly connected. Two types of misconnection exist: • sewage or waste water pipes connected to clean surface water drains • clean water pipes connected to foul drains Misconnections cause pollution. Foul discharges to clean water drains result in untreated sewage going directly to a watercourse. Clean rainfall to foul drains is also a problem as it causes sewerage overflows, takes up sewer capacity, affects sewage treatment plants and takes energy to pump and treat. 7 © Museum of London Docklands 2015 The water quality of the River Lea is seriously affected by these types of misconnections. Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO) In a combined sewer system all of our wastewater and surface water goes into one pipe. This pipe takes everything to a sewage treatment works for processing. When it rains our sewer system cannot cope with surface water in addition to our waste water which results in a sewage overflow. The more rain that enters sewers, the less room there is for sewage. A combined system is designed to overflow into a river instead of backing up into streets and homes. It is estimated that untreated sewage and sewage-related debris is discharged into our rivers at least once a week. After heavy rainfall, Deephams Sewage Treatment Works in Edmonton overflows, discharging millions of tonnes of wastewater into the River Lea. Pollution from roads and car parks Green space amounting to 22 times the size of Hyde Park has been paved over in a generation in London, such as small fragments of greenery that have been covered in housing, asphalt or concrete slabs. Front gardens have been turned into parking spaces.

  • Salmons Brook Healthy River Challenge: the Start-Up Performance of Three Constructed Wetlands at Improving Water Quality
    Salmons Brook Healthy River Challenge: The start-up performance of three constructed wetlands at improving water quality. Water sampling, analysis and report by Dr. Nathalie Gilbert, Thames21. May 2016 Executive Summary This report assesses the start-up performance of three constructed wetlands at improving water quality in the period immediately after construction and planting. The systems were located in the catchment of the Salmons Brook, a tributary of the River Lea, in Enfield north London and consisted of: i) an integrated wetland (Glenbrook), ii) an infiltration basin (Grovelands Park) and a reedbed (Grovelands Park). Water quality was investigated by a twice-monthly regime of water sampling (April – November), laboratory testing and statistical analysis of concentrations of nutrients (total nitrogen, ammonia, nitrate, phosphate), heavy metals (copper, zinc, lead, cadmium) and coliform bacteria. Additionally, on three occasions each of the six basins of the integrated wetland were sampled in order to assess the performance of each basin at improving water quality. Results indicated that all three constructed wetlands were all highly effective at removing nitrogen compounds and coliform bacteria. Statistically significant differences in these parameters were reported, with average reductions between the inflow and outflow to the system of up to 67% of ammonia, 68% of nitrate, and 55% of total nitrogen. According to EU bathing water standards (the only standards available for this parameter, but not applicable to non-designated bathing water areas), classification improved from poor (imperative) at the system inflows to good at the outflows. During all but the highest flows, the infiltration basin (Grovelands Park) captured all polluted water and allowed it to slowly filter into the ground, indicating almost total effectiveness in preventing all pollutants from entering the Salmons Brook.

  • Water Quality Analysis of the River Lee and Major Tributaries Within the Perimeter of the M25, from Waltham Abbey to Bow Locks
    A water quality analysis of the River Lee and major tributaries within the perimeter of the M25, from Waltham Abbey to Bow Locks. Client: Thames21 Consultant: Grieg R Davies Water sampling and analyses dates: 22 November – 04 December 2011 Date issued: 13 December 2011 Executive summary This report was commissioned to assess the biological, physical and chemical water quality of the London River Lee and its main tributaries within the M25 perimeter, from the M25 near Waltham Abbey to Bow Locks in Bow, London. A pilot water quality investigation was developed to assess 38 sites within seven watercourses, including the London River Lee. Common physical and chemical water quality parameters were measured in the field and analysed by means of representative samples in a laboratory. Samples and measurements were taken during a period of ‘reference’ water levels within the watercourses. Results were compared and analysed against existing water quality classifications from the EU Water Framework Directive amongst others. The investigation determined that the overall water quality within the London River Lee and its tributaries is very poor. Excessive concentrations of reactive phosphate (orthophosphate) in combination with low saturation of dissolved oxygen were common place within many of the sampled sites, as well as high counts of total coliforms and the presence of considerable levels of faecal coliforms. Values for chemical oxygen demand were also found to be excessively high within the majority of sample sites. A simple water quality index determined that the most deteriorated watercourse in the investigation was Stonebridge Brook, while the most deteriorated sample sites were located on the Pymmes Brook and Salmons Brook.
