YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Join Business Live with Gareth Barlow as the number of most serious water pollution incidents rose by 60% last year, according to data covering England, with three companies responsible for the bulk of them.

The Environment Agency (EA) - under fire for its own oversight of water firms' pollution performance - said that more than 80% of the 75 instances of pollution in its two most serious categories were the responsibility of Thames Water (33), Southern Water (15) and Yorkshire Water (13).
