Heads up folks - we've a pretty miserable 24-36hrs ahead with some persistent #rain over the central spine of the country.
As always, knowing your #flood risk in advance & the actions you can take pay dividends if ever the worst does happen.

Looking forward to talking about this important issue on @BBCBreakfast this morning. A complex & tricky problem to monitor, pin down and crack - but we must! Loads of different solutions, but need ambition and organisation. @CIWEM
A ‘chemical cocktail’ of sewage, slurry and plastic polluting English rivers is putting public health and nature at risk.

16 days of continuous release, it has not been raining for 16 days. @thameswater profit before protection of the environment.

There are government grants available this year to help the #farming industry with purchasing #rainwaterharvesting systems. But, you only have until the 7th or 12th of Jan to apply.

The cost of #maintenance can be lowered by up to 25% by incorporating #SuDS rather than traditional drainage in #developments. Check out more resources for developers, approvers and practitioners in our knowledge hub bit.ly/susdrainknowledge

This has been happening since Christmas day. @thameswater how can this be acceptable? It has not been raining all day every day. Maybe you should adopt SuDS systems.

Witney sewage works - known to dump sewage illegally in 2014 but the Environment Agency ignored it and allowed Ofwat and Thames Water to hold off upgrading. Here we are like many other areas approaching 2022 with a massive housing boom connecting to the failing system @BBCNews

4 DAYS OF @thameswater TURDS
Since 1am on the Christmas Day, the Witney Sewage works has been releasing untreated sewage into the Thames.
Most of the Thames CSOs & sewage works do not have monitoring, but likely they have been spewing too

We've completed our Albany Park #riverrestoration! By naturalising 400m of #turkeybrook (which used to flow in a concrete channel) the risk of flooding for 400 properties has been reduced. 4000 wetland plants have also been planted - offering a diverse new habitat. RESULT! ✅🎉

If this isn't shocking enough this is discharging into a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) a formal conservation designation. described as an area that's of particular interest to science due to the rare species of fauna or flora it contains.
WATCH: Untreated sewage was released into Langstone Harbour, Hampshire for 49 hours.
Photographer Chris Pearsal, who captured the footage, tells #BBCBreakfast ‘it needs to stop’.

Hope the flood defences are holding up in Cockermouth. This vid highlights why upland flood schemes are so important to help reduce the runoff volume and flow rates before it reaches urban areas. Its so difficult and expensive to defend through urban areas.
