West Wales Rivers. Once the best Sea Trout Rivers in Europe! But now Collapsed by 95% #SlurryMaizeAggedon It was common to meet German, Swedish, USA etc anglers visiting & spending in this Mecca! Why? Unregulated Agriculture, Industrial Dairy by Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru | Natural Resources Wales Senedd Climate
Massive threat to UK aquatic life from the double whammy of warmer waters & pollution as the “water companies and poorly controlled industrial farming..have been increasingly pouring raw sewage, animal waste & fertilisers into our waterways for decades” theguardian.com/environment/ar…
7 days straight of raw sewage discharge into Windermere, but United Utilities refuse to be interviewed on BBC Radio 4 Today. Contempt for accountability & us. Two actions you can take: 1. Follow MattStaniek, indefatigable Windermere campaigner. 2. Join marchforcleanwater.org on 26/10
A story of grotesque corporate greed and catastrophic failure of regulation. Thames Water 💧 is now debt-ridden to the tune of more than £15 billion and has secretly lobbied Whitehall to secure huge bill hikes. Illegal sewage dumping will continue and customers will be ripped off.
The good people of Yorkshire are not happy 😡 Yorkshire Water 💧 no longer deserves to carry the region’s name given its appalling pollution record ⬇️ “Water regulation is toothless in this county in the face of…brazen disregard for the environment” yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/opinion/c…
Massive congratulations to Baroness Jenny Jones, winner of Nature 2030 Rivers and Seas Political Purpose Award, and Highly Commended Barry Gardiner MP 🙌 Well deserved for their vital contributions to rescuing Britain’s waters👏 Jenny Jones Barry Gardiner MP

"What we've got today is a long list of measures that will cost the government nothing and is really not going to fix anything because it's the system that's broken." River Action's charles watson calling out the failures the govt's new water bill on BBC Radio 4 this morning. 📻👇
Today’s new Water Bill is a step forward but fails to fix the system. We need far stronger enforcement measures, more resources for regulators, measures to tackle pollution from farming & finally to bring water back into public hands -join the March to demand more! charles watson
