The Rivers Trust has called for “sensible solutions, not knee jerk reaction fixes” to improve river health after publishing data showing a rise in the number of discharges from combined sewer overflows. Director of advocacy for the organisation, Tessa Wardley, was speaking to Utility Week after the environmental NGO published its map of discharge data for England and Wales, which showed 579,581 spills last year, up from 385,000 in 2022.
