British Rowing to March for Clean Water in London on 3 November
The March for Clean Water in London is a one-off event organised by River Action to petition the government for clean water throughout the UK – join us and the other sports of the Clean Water Sports Alliance too!
On Sunday, 3 November, we’ll be joining hundreds of other sportspeople at the March for Clean Water in London. Everyone is invited to join this peaceful, legal event, where organisers River Action will be asking politicians of all parties to support three aims for clean, healthy and abundant water:
- Reform regulation – conduct an immediate root-and-branch review of OFWAT and the Environment Agency to put a complete stop to any industry knowingly and wantonly polluting waters.
- Enforce the law – the laws and regulations are already in place that can end water pollution. The new Government must uphold and enforce them.
- Stop ‘pollution for profit‘ – make sure all polluting industries invest here and now for the long term; upgrading infrastructure, reducing water wastage and leaks, helping farmers restore habitats, increasing efficient water use everywhere.
