A new map shows which rivers and seas contain the most sewage around the country. The map was created by scientists at UCL – and it’s live – so you can check when the most recent sewage spill happened in your local area.
Last year activists wanted an ‘environmental emergency’ to be declared – after research showed three quarters of all UK rivers pose a serious risk to human health.
