Sewage overflows still plague the Thames. While the river is cleaner than it has been in a generation we're at risk of undermining that progress. Thames Water & the regulator are failing to agree long-term investment that will protect our precious river.

Forgot to mention this.
The upper River Lee is a chalk stream and seems to be missing about 53% of its flow for this time of year, the remainder, what's currently flowing in the river, is in all probability made up of 100% of the discharge from the Luton Sewage Treatment Works
It looks like oxygen levels have dipped in the River Lea & fish are suffering.
Rain washes pollution off roads. Roads warm the rain too, so the water holds less O2.
Not sunny today so less photosynthesis to boost daytime oxygen levels.
