It rained....
And as predicted on @LBC with @HenryRiley1 not 48 hours ago.
Anything in brown is sewage being dumping into the environment right now, in real time, anything in red is sewage dumped over the last 24 hours.

River Severn Glass Eels (abandoned and left to perish)
Millions of critically endangered baby eels die every year, trapped by man-made barriers in the River Severn while authorities look the other way. Against all odds, they complete an extraordinary journey—only to perish at the final hurdle.
Driven by instinct, under moonlit waters, one of nature’s most remarkable migrations unfolds: the glass eel migration. But for many, it ends before it truly begins.
