Sun-seeking Brits can see exactly which polluted beaches and rivers to avoid this summer with a map that shows all the hotspots for sewage spillage around the country.
Treated sewage is regularly discharged from the sewerage system in the UK into waterways, while there are also overflows of untreated waste and storm water into rivers.
Collectively, there were 384,568 spills from the discharge points last year for a combined total of over 2.3 million hours, according to data from the Environment Agency.
