England faces a worsening environmental crisis as water pollution incidents surged 60% last year, the government confirmed. This alarming rise highlights a systemic problem within the nation's water infrastructure.
Watchdog agencies are pointing fingers at a crumbling water industry, which is not only damaging the environment but also impacting the British economy. Rivers are becoming increasingly polluted, compounding concerns about water scarcity and potential droughts.
Experts warn that England is facing a significant "artificial water crisis," potentially escalating in 2025. Addressing this requires urgent investment and reform to protect vital water resources.
