The areas of the UK where the most raw sewage is dropped into rivers and seas are all in Wales, data shows. Of the top 10 places which see the most sewage dumps, five are in Wales including the top three locations.
Campaigners fighting to stop raw sewage being discharged into Britain’s waterways have used publically available data to compile a map showing the areas of the UK where the most sewage dumps have taken place, the hours of sewage as well as the year on year change.
The map is broken down by constituency and made up of data from 2021. WalesOnline has asked Welsh Water several times in the past for up-to-date figures for discharges in 2022 but have been told that information is not yet available. You can find the map published by Top of the Poops here.
