When I started filming in British rivers over a decade ago I looked for three things. Clear water, lots of plants and plenty of fish. It's all be impossible to find in today which sickens me given its happened in such a short period.

No body understands how connected all these systems are, dying rivers effect every strand of life. From pollinators to pest control systems, there is a natural collapse, it's a preventable disaster.

too many people, too fasts, infrastructure couldn't keep up and millions of them are filthy third world barbarians

I live near a stretch of the Avon in wiltshire. Every year for the past 20 or so I’ve seen perch, barbel and roach in the river. Last two years nothing, all gone.

This is bullshit. Plenty of rivers still like this, I can give inner city examples. You're just trying to virtue signal you wanker.

It’s a complete and utter disgrace. Air,Water and Soil we humans are abusing them all. Our bird life is disappearing, along with insects and fish. We MUST stop this decline, but nobody appears interested only a minority!

Criminals water companies being indulged by useless politicians

Ditto! Hopefully some redress will happen after angling clubs made a precedent in the courts last year and where given the green light for taking WC's to court over their negligence (and avarice).

Christians everywhere need to see this documentary.

The corruption of successive governments on allowing water companies to destroy river and stream eco systems is beyond criminal

The #RiverWye is a dead, brown cesspool full sewage, fuel spills, run off and, above all, chicken shit from abused birds feeding #Cargill 's death factory that sits like Mordor right in the middle of #Hereford . Animal cruelty and environmental destruction go hand in hand.

My local stream was full of crayfish and minnows when I was growing up (I’m 24 now) despite running by an oxide works for decades before my time. Yet for at least the last 10 years, its been completely devoid of life. It’s difficult to have much hope
