Due to reports of algal growth in the Ewelme Brook, we tested the water for nutrients, at the Chiltern Society watercress beds.
We had partially inconclusive results due to surface algal growth, and we're planning further investigations in the coming weeks.

''Unacceptable', Thames Water admits.' Good on Flamstead Parish Council for calling out Thames Water 💧 for their record of 850+ hours of continuous sewage spills into the #RiverVer chalk stream this year. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

EXCL: Thames Water could be renationalised with bulk of its £15.6bn debt added to public purse Anna Isaac reveals theguardian.com/business/2024/…

One thousand hours of Thames Water 💧 sewage straight into our #RiverVer chalk stream in 2024 and still going. Remarkably we are not the worst 👉R. Chess Association #RiverMisbourne

Running along South Bucks Way beside Misbourne is no longer enjoyable. It honks. Monitor may be “offline” at Amersham Balancing tanks. But we all know what that means. Shame on you ⁦⁦Thames Water 💧⁩ ⁦Feargal Sharkey⁩ ⁦Paul Jennings⁩ ⁦ChilternChalkStreams⁩

We spotted some ducklings on the #riverwye today!

The Kennet catchment faces a severe sewage crisis, threatening rivers & community health. Today, over 250 people gathered demanding action. We need:
Immediate govt action. OFWAT/EA investigation. Urgent infrastructure upgrades. #AnglersAgainstPollution anglingtrust.net/get-involved/a…

Not surprising. Water company customer research by Ofwat and consumer watchdog CCW - The voice for water consumers reveals that just 21% believe their water company acts in the interests of the environment, a decrease from 27% in 2021

Our commiserations to R. Chess Association on clocking up 1000 hours of continuous Thames Water 💧 sewage spills. The #RiverVer is the lucky one, with a mere 500 hours of the brown stuff.

An unwanted record was passed today - 500 hours of continuous Thames Water 💧 sewage, spilling into the tiny #RiverVer , one of the world's rare #chalkstreams . Over 30 days in 2024, so far. It's as disgusting now as in was in the 1980s when the spills first started.

💧 Our Water Restoration Fund is now open for applications!

🏞️ Up to £11m of funding from water company fines and penalties is available for local projects that will improve the water environment.
