Pollution has been piling up in our waters for years, damaging areas of natural beauty and even infecting drinking water in some areas of the country. Water companies like Thames Water, Yorkshire Water and Northumbrian Water have now found themselves paying millions of pounds worth of fines over historic sewage spills. So why does it keep happening and how can we fix it?
In this special episode, Kamal and The Telegraph’s environment editor Emma Gatten look at the state of our waterways and who is really to blame, and ask the new environment secretary Steve Reed what he's going to do about it. And join The Daily T for a trip down to Brixham, South Devon to meet the residents poisoned by cryptosporidium.
