In this special podcast version of ENDS's new documentary SEVERN: The poisoning of Britain's Amazon, we look at some of the pollution problems facing the Severn’s basin, which is home to around 400 rivers, 29 lakes and 33 groundwater bodies, and where, at the Environment Agency’s last assessment, just 45 were found to be in good ecological condition.
Whistleblowers working at the agency have told ENDS that resources have been diverted away from water quality activities, which means they are unable to tackle polluters, such as water companies which discharge raw sewage into rivers and farmers, whose runoff can have catastrophic impacts on wildlife.
