Water pollution has become an increasingly visible issue in the UK, drawing attention to climate change and the impact of privatization of utilities in the UK.

Thousands of people marched in London on Sunday to demand a cleanup of Britain’s sewage-choked waterways. Bloomberg reported this on Sunday, November 3.

Marchers marched along the River Thames towards Parliament, holding placards calling for an end to water pollution.

“Water pollution is an increasingly visible problem in the UK. Private water and sewerage companies have not updated their infrastructure in Victoria. At the same time, the population is growing. Discharges are common. There are as many of 464,000 of them last year “, writes the publication.

The water supply companies explained that they did not have enough funds for modernization.

“The industry regulator is not allowing water charges to rise enough to finance the improvements,” the publication stated.

The Labor government elected in July introduced legislation to tighten regulation and increase penalties for water companies responsible for pollution. But demonstrators say more needs to be done.

The march for clean water was organized by organizations ranging from Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth to British Rowing.

For the first time in history, humanity has disrupted the global water cycle, leading to a massive water crisis. This is according to a new report from the Global Commission on the Economy of Water.
