A new report by The Rivers Trust(an organization that protects rivers in the UK and Ireland) shows that many rivers are not in good health. But you can help by watching rivers. The group started its new project, Big River Watch, on 6th September, 2024, in the UK and Ireland. It uses technology like smartphone apps to help scientists do better research.
It is important for The Rivers Trust to collect useful information about rivers. This helps them know how dirty the rivers are and what problems they have. It's even better if more people join it. That's because people can check different river areas. Then, scientists can get more information from many places, not just from a few rivers. With more information, they can better understand the real situation of the rivers. So, everyone's help is important because it makes the information about rivers more complete(完整的). This helps scientists make better decisions to protect our rivers.
To join it, you need to download(下载) the free Big River Watch app on your phone at first. Then choose a river, pick a place on the riverside and watch it carefully for 15 minutes. At last, through the app you can send information about the things that you notice in or along the river, like animals, water speed, and pollution.
Experts at The Rivers Trust will study the results and share the information with other organizations. With the results, the government can make much more useful plans of action, and the scientists will find right places for rubbish picks or river clean-ups. And you will know the importance of protecting the rivers by joining Big River Watch.

D篇
英国和爱尔兰的河流保护组织“河流信托基金”于2024年9月推出“大河观察”项目，借助智能手机应用邀请公众参与河流监测。公众只需下载免费应用，选择河流地点观察15分钟后，通过应用提交河流相关信息（如动物、水流速度、污染情况），这些信息能帮助科学家完善河流研究、制定更有效的保护方案，政府也能据此制定行动计划，参与者还能加深对河流保护重要性的认识。
第12题：第二段前文提到“收集河流的有用信息”，紧接着“这能帮助他们了解河流有多脏以及它们存在什么问题”，“they”指代前文的“the rivers”（河流），符合语境逻辑。
