Yesterday we encountered a serious, ongoing pollution incident on The Worm. Phosphate levels were 5.2ppm and 2.7ppm 1.5 miles downstream.
Carelessness, bad maintenance or even deliberate?
It brings into question the treating and concentrating of agricultural waste.

A worry in 2 parts😤
1. Kate’s video from Peterchurch in #Herefordshire where @balfourbeatty new work is ‘washing’ away & admitted by them to be done in the rain!
2. All those micro plastics heading to the Dore #River @WATERSHED_i @RiverDore @SaveTheWye @bbchw @herefordtimes

☠️ Extinction moment imminent
Imagine you are a Wye Salmon returning home to spawn
You finally complete this odyssey after many hazardous years out in the Atlantic Ocean
And then you find the river bed where you are supposed to lay your eggs coated with thick noxious green sludge caused by pollution from intensive 🐓production
What chance do you have as a species? 😢 – at Bellentre, France

Chicken farming protest planned at Hereford Tesco supermarket herefordtimes.com/news/23242…
This issue is too big for any part of the supply chain to ignore. We sincerely hope supermarkets including @Tesco step up to be part of the solution.

We live to fight another day.

Happy new year!
We’d like to take the liberty of suggesting a New Year’s resolution to @NatResWales: Start using our citizen science data!
The Environment Agency have been integrating CS monitoring since March last year. What’s stopping you?

Now well past 48 hours in which hundreds of homes in the Golden Valley have been without water. Some are vulnerable, many are elderly and all are very concerned about not having water over Christmas. The comms from @DwrCymru have been dire. We need action from them this day.
Feeling like second class citizens over here!
WHAT ABOUT HEREFORDSHIRE? We need full, accurate and regular updates about the loss of water supplies. Who you think is still affected, where they can get water, when the mains will be back on, which human beings they can call to log problems. @Ofwat @OfwatChair
The UK’s new Prime Minister @RishiSunak must deliver on key animal welfare pledges. Please join me and email him today, demanding action for farmed animals. #AnimalsMatter
