Over 900 responses to Save Our Waters

Thank you to everyone who supported the Save Our Waters campaign. From October 2014 to 10 April 2015, the Environment Agency ran a consultation, asking everyone to comment on plans (River Basin Management Plans) that will determine how our waters are managed for the next six years. We believe Government needs to be ambitious to ensure that our water bodies have a chance to recover and can be enjoyed by people and nature for generations to come. Every response received was sent to the Environment Agency and will contribute to the final River Basin Management Plans, due to be published before 31 December 2015.

Although the consultation has closed, there is still plenty you can do to help improve our water environment.

  • Talk to your MP: Parliament dissolved on 30 March and the Election Campaign is in full swing. During the coming weeks, candidates in your local area will be canvassing for your vote at your doorstep, in town halls and via their websites. Why not ask them what they will be doing to improve the rivers, lakes and wetlands of your area.
  • Volunteer: Organisations can only achieve change with your help. Find out how to volunteer with organisations in your area.
  • Share the infographic: Working with Blueprint for Water, we developed an infographic to highlight the plight of our waters. Share it to raise awareness.
  • Take the poll: How many rivers do you think should be healthy? Have your say by taking the poll.
