It’s that time of year. @GaywoodRiver would like to hear from anyone interested in taking part in a HUGE #bioblitz around the #Gaywood catchment. Pls RT @NorfolkNats @N_Rivers_Trust @TwyfordRising @Jo_the_botanist @frogsatuea @RiversandPeople @EcologyRivers @jonahtosney
In rivers, coastal waters or seas, algal blooms form a "shroud of death" - smothering shellfish & invertebrates, starving birds that eat them. Caused by excess nitrogen or phosphate, data suggests in rural areas, agriculture is the main source of these, in towns, sewage.

Ah yes, good old @thameswater killing yet another chalk stream, the River Kennet in Marlborough. And the @EnvAgency do what exactly?

As campaigners demand a radical shake-up in #environment law, we wonder if the introduction of prison sentences for those committing ecocide, or acts causing serious damage to ecosystems, would change the behaviour of firms like @AnglianWater inews.co.uk/news/ecocide-l… #EarthDay
The upper reaches of the #GaywoodRiver not far from its spring sources in #Grimston. You can see the results of years of dredging. But look how the Fool’s Watercress and other riparian plants, when left, begin to create natural meanders that speed up the flow. #chalkstream
He’s not wrong. 👀👀👇
Disgusting.
One for you @theJeremyVine. A tale of greed, a lack of any meaningful plan and a complete disregard for residents and nature. #news

As @AnglianWater demonstrates its ability to kick the can to 2035, residents and @GaywoodRiver defenders wonder just how long it takes to come up with a plan to a problem that has already been ongoing for more than a decade? itv.com/news/anglia/20… @Feargal_Sharkey @thetimes
This morning we were up with the larks before work removing paint tins and rubbish that had been chucked into part of the chalk stream network by some idiots. Remember, they walk among us. ☹️ Thanks to @RussellB1ggs for his help with this. #chalkstreams #rivers #pollution
Norfolk woman, 87, using CAT LITTER amid sewage woes. Angry locals and @GaywoodRiver point to a @AnglianWater failure “in proper long-term investment to keep up with local development and upgrades to infrastructure." edp24.co.uk/news/24249760.… #sewagescandal #thrivingeast

When “Norfolk’s Forgotten Chalk Stream” The Gaywood River is protected & the habitual polluters prosecuted @EnvAgencyAnglia ? It must be reconnected to its Bawsey floodplain & not used merely as a drain @The_WMA @GaywoodRiver @NENorfolkSufflk 30+Trout in the Babingley 😍

Today, we carried out our regular inspections and testing on the Gaywood in its upper reaches. It’s really pleasing that @The_WMA left far more of the Fool’s Watercress instream last year and we are seeing the benefits of that now. @N_Rivers_Trust @EnvAgencyAnglia @RussellB1ggs
Since 2012 @AnglianWater has paid £4.769bn in dividends yet here is a 87 year old woman telling to a pubic meeting she has to use cat litter because of the dysfunctional sewage system A plague of locusts on all of your houses @PeterSimpsonAW @robintprice lynnnews.co.uk/news/87-year-o…
It isn't, but we're sure it will be part of their 2035 strategy... #kickingthecan

Thick algal mats already starting to form over Langstone Harbour. These kill the underlying invertebrates. These are formed by excess nutrients. The water companies blame agriculture when it’s likely to be both and their contributions varying geographically and temporally.
Ah yes, good old @thameswater killing yet another chalk stream, the River Kennet in Marlborough. And the @EnvAgency do what exactly?
Marlborough's most famous manhole made to tonight'episode of ITV NEWS WEST COUNTRY. The underwater camera shows what hundreds of hours of untreated 💩 pouring from this burst manhole has done to the riverbed of the Kennet, coating what should be clean gravels. #chalkstream
MPs from the two main political parties just voted to make regulators consider if fining a firm will cause the company reputational damage. Because it's getting fined that gives water companies a bad reputation.
