What utter nonsense. Nothing but playground politics masquerading as policy.

Since when has rearranging the deckchairs, regurgitating an existing, failed 30 year old bit of legislation been seen as progress? 🤔

Oh and today was the day that the National Audit Office published its report into the water industry and regulation.

The conclusion, "The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and water regulators have failed".

There's your important message for the day.

River restoration in action! Rain, snow, or shine. ❄️ This American Rivers project will fix a headgate, improve habitat, and reconnect the river to its floodplain along one mile of the Uncompahgre River in Western Colorado.

The removal of the Perofilho Weir by @WWF_Portugal, a project funded by ORP, has restored free-flowing water, created more space for fish, and reconnected all parts of the river!

It's one thing to change the future way water pollution fines are used (direct restoration or into Treasury), but to redivert existing committed funding, which groups have spent time and money bidding for, is out of order https://t.co/vGOG1Wjt3G

Storm Darragh has done a brilliant job of making some large woody material introductions on our rivers, came across this beauty on the Danes Brook (River Exe) this morning. No need to clean this 'mess' up!

This is a game changer from @theriverstrust - The ability to see live discharges from ALL waste water works and combined sewage overflows allows us to understand the environmental impact these releases are having on each river.

With ORP's support, @WWF_Portugal removed the Galaxes weir in 2023. Since the removal, observations of native fish species have increased by approximately 44%! 👏

On #WorldSoilsDay this quote is still so fundamental to our fundamental existance and we forget it at our peril

The need to deal with maize has never been greater. It is grown as winter crop for dairy and feed stock for AD plants but when its not managed well it smothers spawning gravels and pollutes our streams and rivers #WorldSoilsDay
