Your @thameswater sewage dumping map for the morning of Sat, 24th Feb 2024.

1/ Well worth reading this brilliant interview with @doctor_oxford by @jonlis1 from @Perspective_tw - the moving ITV drama Breathless is based on her covid frontline experiences. Unbelievable there's been political sniping over it - I have many issues with the govt's covid

Alexei Navalny⁩’s death reminds me so much of the deaths of Steve BikoNeil Agatha & so many others in the jails of apartheid South Africa when I was the BBC correspondent there: ‘beating their own heads against the wall’, ‘slipping on bars of soap’, ‘jumping out of windows’.

Anyone @thameswater, @SouthernWater, @SouthWestWater, @DefraGovUK? 🤣🤣🤣

The slab of red👇 stretching from Norfolk to High Wycombe, Working to Margate is the chalk aquifer.

Thanks to farming and water companies it is now listed as being in 'Poor' ecological condition.

It is meant to support and supply most of the world's chalk streams.

Fu*k sake!🤬

"A new Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive paves the way towards a circular, green, and smart water management."

Oh look, the Europeans are going to make their sewage legislation even tougher, more impactful, more effective.

Meanwhile here in the UK?

With the @RiverActionUK court case in Cardiff today, this excellent piece by @claudcockerell is a great reminder that this is a nationwide scandal

[Claudia Cockerell @claudcockerell]

The River Fal in Cornwall is home to the last fishery in Europe where they catch oysters by hand and sailboat. But this centuries-old industry is on the brink of collapse because private water companies won't stop dumping sewage in the river:

My 86 year old mother was asked by her doctor to go the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff at 4pm yesterday to get a severe chest infection assessed. She’s still there, sitting stoically on a hard plastic chair all night. What’s going on? #NHSCrisis

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

So there we have it. The time has come as we surely knew it would.

@thameswater's sewage overflow in Fairford, Gloucestershire has being dumping sewage into the River Coln for over 1,000 hours. That's nonstop since the 3rd Dec 2023.

And the @EnvAgency does what exactly?
