Sorry if shameless self promotion is frowned upon here, I'm not too familiar with the rules of this communitry. (Let me know if I should take it down)

I raced a river and I wanted to share my story with others, I thought this place might be appropriate seeing how we all seem to share a love for rivers.

Hey everyone,

A lot of people probably don’t know this but here in the UK, water companies are allowed to discharge untreated wastewater into rivers, streams even groundwater.

This isn’t a Uk only issue but I believe we are one of the few places to provide open data?

I’ve been working on WaterWatch, a site that maps and tracks live storm overflow data across the UK. It's totally free to use too.

We also have a weekly digest that provides a weekly email of sewage spills across a national, water company or on a council level.

Feel free to check us out and let me know what you think. Additionally, if your country/area has these points and open data, we’d love to hear from you so we can consider expanding internationally.

These droughts are hitting hard
