Water/Wastewater
Plan launched to boost water quality across the Thames
Dec 30 2009
The Environment Agency's River Basin Management Plan is part of the European Union's Water Framework Directive.
Howard Davidson, a spokesman for the organisation, commented: "We need to make sure that the quantity and the quality of the water we have suits the needs of both ourselves and the environment around us."
According to the Environment Agency, there are a number of steps people can take to improve water quality.
These include taking waste oil and chemicals to a recycling facility, rather than pouring them down the drain.
The use of phosphate-free laundry detergents can also help to prevent pollution, the organisation noted.
In related news, Scottish Water was recently fined after releasing high levels of biochemical oxygen into the Durris Burn.
