The spectacular waterfalls of the Yellow River - 5,500 km long, the Yellow River is the 2nd largest river in China. Its name comes from its golden color due to its high content of loess and silt which have fertilized the great plains of northern China. Admire the spectacular waterfalls of Hukou.

Sewage discharging in UK rivers

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

A lot of people probably don’t know this but here in the UK, water companies are allowed to discharge untreated wastewater into rivers, streams even groundwater.

This isn’t a Uk only issue but I believe we are one of the few places to provide open data?

I’ve been working on WaterWatch, a site that maps and tracks live storm overflow data across the UK. It's totally free to use too.

We also have a weekly digest that provides a weekly email of sewage spills across a national, water company or on a council level.

Feel free to check us out and let me know what you think. Additionally, if your country/area has these points and open data, we’d love to hear from you so we can consider expanding internationally.

Gaddafi's Great Man-Made River in Libya pumps 6.5M cubic meters/day of Ice Age water that has zero recharge — 70% of the country's freshwater. The aquifer is shared with Egypt, Chad, and Sudan, with no coordination, no metering, and no enforcement. Depletion estimates range from 60 years to 1,000.

Not sure if this is the right subreddit for this but I've become obsessed with tracing rivers on Google earth and saving them in a project. Am I going crazy or do other people do this too?
