Our Work in Focus

Why It Matters
Our rivers are used by more than just "bathers"—they’re lifelines for recreation, wildlife, and wellbeing. That’s why we’re campaigning for:
1. Legal designation of local swim spots as Recreational Water Status
2. Real-time alerts on sewage spills from Thames Water via the EA’s new flood platform
3. Stronger EA-Citizen Science partnerships to expand monitoring reach and accountability
