#StateOfOurRivers
Right now, our email template asks elected representatives to read the State of Our Rivers Report. We need them to understand the situation our rivers face, and be part of the solutions that rivers urgently need.
Combining data, insightful maps, and illuminating case studies, the State of Our Rivers 2026 Report is our latest bumper resource that dives into the data and evidence the health of rivers in the UK and Ireland. It contains over 10 interactive maps to help you (and your representative) learn about what's happening to your nearest waterways, and deep dives on specific topics, such as chemical pollution.
We need to stand up for our rivers, and we need our representatives to fight for them too.
