End water pollution in National Parks

Supporter, what's your favourite water body in a National Park? Derwent water, Sgwd Gwladus Waterfall, the Bure, River Meon, Aber Falls, Windermere – all iconic freshwaters in National Parks enjoyed by millions every year, but under the surface lies a dirty secret, Pollution.

Shockingly the pollution within many National Parks waterways is worse than in urban areas. It will be impossible to conserve and enhance wildlife and the natural beauty of the Parks without urgent action on water.

Will you take 2 minutes to help us end water pollution in National Parks?

THE DIRTY TRUTH
Water company sewage pollution is one of the main reasons for failing health in the rivers and lakes of National Parks in England and Wales. The problem relates to illegal sewage dumping, a lack of enforcement and poor water company planning.

Absurdly, many wastewater treatment works in National Parks are designed to much weaker standards than those in towns and cities, meaning they can't deal with the millions of people who visit every year. This means huge amounts of sewage ending up in lakes, rivers and streams, causing health risks to humans and killing off ecosystems.

PULLING THE PLUG

At Campaign for National Parks we’re working hard for clean water protections across all our National Parks. We're calling for strong clean water protections, with legally binding requirements to clean up the lakes, rivers and streams within National Parks.

Together we can end water pollution in our National Parks.
