Report pollution

See it. Report it. Protect it.

Our rolling rivers and meandering streams are a precious resource that we can all help protect.

If you see something wrong, the quicker you tell us, the faster we can investigate and minimise impact on wildlife and the environment.

Report pollution

If the pollution has been caused by a problem with our network, we’ll get it fixed as soon as possible. We report all known pollution incidents to the Environment Agency.
