Rivers and other bodies of water play a huge part in the environment’s impact on human health, which means it’s vital to keep water quality in our rivers top of mind.
When it comes to trends in river pollution, Professor Steve Ormerod is a leading figure in tracking our rivers’ water quality, as Professor of Ecology and Co-Director of the Water Research Institute at Cardiff University.
We hear from Steve as he takes us through the key considerations and dangers in this week’s World Built Environment Forum podcast, hosted by Head of Rural Research at Savills, Emily Norton.
This episode of The RICS Podcast covers:
- How clean our rivers are currently throughout the UK
- Whether we’re taking appropriate measurement of river quality
- Trends in urban vs rural water quality improvement
- The links between human health and river quality
