Why are water companies allowed to dump sewage into rivers? | The Daily T Podcast
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 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. Plus, join The Daily T for a trip down to Brixham, Devon to meet the women poisoned by cryptosporidium.

The problem is foreign companies running the water companies for shareholders profits.
So this sounds as though we are going to have many more of these situations. The village where we live the estate was built in the 60s but for the past 3 years we have had burst pipes all over the place. Its like one gets fixed then another one further down the road bursts. It certainly does correlate with heavy rains.

What is the evidence for more extreme weather from climate change?
It is because they used their money for profit ,not investment
