It’s #WaterSavingWeek 💧
Water Resources Plans set out by water companies & regional groups are key to reducing the harm caused to rivers by our water use.
@EnvAgency recently reviewed the sector’s revised plans - so, are they now sufficient? 🧵 (1/12)

I’m fully aware conditions been difficult over the past few days
I see lots of examples of farming not being so great for the environment
Can we see images of farming that is capable of coping with extreme weather conditions rather than soil washing down the roads

Wet wipes containing plastic break down into microplastics over time, which can be harmful to the environment and human health.
We've launched a consultation to ban them across the UK and deliver on our commitments set out in our #PlanForWater.

📺 One of the most hotly awaited debates of the year has started in @UKHouseofLords on govt plans to scrap water pollution laws in important nature sites.
Expect lots of focus on our river health crisis, broken govt promises and lack of consultation.

The Environmental Watchdog is clear. So am I. We were promised no regression in standards by this Gvt and the Lords needs to stand up against this betrayal
Proposed changes to the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill will reduce the level of environmental protection provided for in law and amount to a regression, the OEP is warning. Find out more: bit.ly/45ABnj1
ALT Quote from Dame Glenys Stacey: "The proposed changes would demonstrably reduce the level of environmental protection provided for in existing environmental law. The Government has not adequately explained how, alongside such weakening of environmental law, new policy measures will ensure it still meets its objectives for water quality and protected site condition."
Daniel Johns retweeted
A powerful intervention from the Government's own nature watchdog - #NutrientNeutrality plans would be a "regression" in environmental protection.
We hope Parliamentarians from all parties will join us in asking @RishiSunak to abandon these damaging plans.

What kind of hocus pocus drafting is this: “the relevant authority must assume…” pollution won’t get worse.
Imagine this in a health context = the relevant doctor must assume you’re not going to get more sick.
Where on earth is science/evidence in this sorry state of affairs?
The #NutrientNeutrality amendment has been published.
With these harmless-looking words, Government wants to disapply the #HabitatsRegulations to allow pollution without mitigation in England's most sensitive nature sites.
Parliamentarians concerned about rivers, plz vote "no".
Mark is right - @floodre continuing beyond 2039 would be a sign of failure. And yes we need much more investment and adaptation.
But remember Flood Re's purpose is to buy time for householders and houseprices to adjust to risk-reflective premiums by 2039.
