The vast majority of England's rivers, lakes and coastal waters are polluted by sewage - according to a new survey by the Environment Agency. Its research found just 14% are in good ecological health - while not a single body of water is safe from toxic chemicals. Campaigners said England's rivers were some of the filthiest in Europe - despite repeated Government promises to clean them up.

This is how our raw sewage is treated by our wastewater operators Approximately 34 billion gallons of wastewater and sewage gets treated every day in the United States There are city programs called ‘toilet-to-tap.’ Luckily only a small percentage of sewage wastewater is recycled back into drinking water Most treated wastewater is discharged into rivers, lakes or the ocean The good news is most drinking water in the United States comes from 2 main natural sources: surface water and groundwater Surface water like lakes, rivers, reservoirs, streams account for about 70%+ of public drinking water supplies

Are you being lied to? Ministers claim that "This government’s generational reform of the water system, that will cut water pollution and clean up our rivers lakes and seas for good". Yet just 2 weeks ago Defra's leading civil servant told MPs "That is a simplification process. We are looking to bring the two main underlying bits of environmental law the water framework directive and the waste water directive together in a consolidated form. Again, that is an opportunity to simplify and streamline." The Water Framework Directive set a target that by 2027 every river in England would be in "Good" ecological condition. Govt is going to miss that one by a country mile, in reality it's looking like a jaw droppingly pathetic 6% of rivers will achieve that goal. The Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is what makes it illegal to dumping sewage outside of "exceptional situations." Both are about to be "streamlined", you have been warned.

The Rio Grande River in Arizona is completely dry in many locations They don’t want you to know, the majority of this water has been sold off over the past 5 years - A huge amount goes to agriculture, about 87% - Mexico gets an enormous amount of the water because of the US-Mexico Water Treaty Mexico is supposed to send about 1/3 of the water from certain rivers that flow into the Rio Grande to the US, mainly for Texas farmers - Minimum: Average of 350,000 acre-feet per year or 1.75 million over 5 years. - Mexico keeps the other 2/3 of that water for its own farms and cities - The US sends Mexico a lot of water from the Colorado River about 1.5 million acre feet per year During 2020-2025 Mexico only delivered about 50% of the water it owed to the United States at the end of the 5 year period Mexico continues to keep way more than their agreed share

Water Resources Commission has been tracking 41 Water bodies in Ghana since 2005 till date. The NDC Government displays 6 water bodies and ignores the 35 water bodies Becos they are in a worst situation and is asking for praises?. Sometimes, I wonder “who is doing” this government. Nice stakeholder engagement organised, very progressive conversation and then out of no where “boom” you start mounting pressure on your own selves about some progress you claim you are making even in the face of contrary facts. Now, all you have done is invite others to prove to you, that out of the 41 water bodies being tracked by the water resources commission, 35 of them are in a worst situation now than in the past and that is why you refuse to show the data. Central region is in crisis as we speak, the turbidity level in the Ayensu River has risen from 14,000 NTU in 2024 to 94,000 NTU as at now. Why isn’t that part of the rivers you displayed today. Where is the data for the rest of the 35 water bodies. You mount pressure on your own selves and when you are questioned you start screaming. Who sent you! Let me state it here again, Water turbidity levels are not the measure for water quality. The true measure of water quality is the WATER QUALITY index which uses turbidity levels, Nutrients and two other elements to determine the purity of the water levels. The attempt by this government to use 6 water bodies out of 41 to gaslight the entire country is not only laughable but unnecessary. Fine event but they are spoiling it with propaganda. I mean how?? Our dear doctor speaking here is worried and that’s legitimate cos she can see through the gaslighting. Stop buying the Galamsey gold Stop your party people from doing Galamsey Fulfil your galamsey campaign promise Stop the whining and blame games and fix the menace #galamseyEnablers #galamseyevidence

Earlier today, Deputy Minister of Water and Sanitation David Mahlobo visited the Johannesburg Water depot, joining city officials. The Midrand area has long faced issues with high water consumption, worsened by the growth of both formal and informal settlements. Johannesburg Water is well aware of this challenge and has begun upgrading the local systems to boost water supply in the region.
