The best way to tell if a river is healthy is to monitor its invertebrates. These are little animals without backbones and they make up an amazing 97% of all life on earth. The most important invertebrates in a river are tiny creatures like Mayflies, Stoneflies, Caddis Flies and Freshwater Shrimps. If a river is full of all these, then there’s a good chance it’s healthy. If they’re not there in large numbers – or if some of them are missing – then something is probably wrong.
