Britain’s hottest and dry spring on record An increased risk for fish and the wildlife Because it has led the record level Water pollution According to the Angeling Trust, in the rivers.
with just 14 percent of the country’s rivers in good ecological health, High temperatures have increased nitrate and ammonia pollutionShowing that global warming is “severe stress” on Britain’s waterways.
The Angeling Trust stated that the river temperature was the hottest in England and June since the records started three years ago.
So far in 2025, the organization has already killed 87 fish, which refers to a part of localized deaths due to pollution, low oxygen and natural factors.
They have also confirmed 36 low flow incidents, which reduces the level of the river and focuses pollution, while the Stanz requires the need to rescue fish on the river temperature and River Redlecke in Baknol.
All four countries of Britain have recorded their hottest spring since the records started in 1884, and have also been recorded as the sixth good since 1836 with only small amounts of rain in June.
The group’s water quality monitoring network (WQMN) report found a high level of nitrate pollution, with 53 percent of samples above 5ppm, compared to only one minority samples in the previous years.
It is known to fuel the spread of algae, known as Algal Blooms, which can kill the life of freshwater.
The level of toxic ammonia also reaches its highest level in 2025, 5.4 percent of ammonia tests failed to meet good ecological standards, above 2.2 percent in 2023.
Organizations, which have seen 800 volunteers presenting more than 10,000 pollution monitoring samples, have said that this combination of record warmth and Dry Sewage, urban discharge and farm runoff are treated to focus in rivers.
“These results are a wake-up call to deal with the double effect of river pollution and climate change,” said Stuart Singleton-White, the leading campaign at the Angling Trust.
“We need to see very hard regulation immediately, resulting in immediate decrease in river pollution, the targets for 2030 are very low.”
Environment agency told Many times: “We take all the reports of environmental pollution seriously. We have expanded where we have monitored and expanded the diversity of data collected in recent years. Last year we collected more than 99,000 water quality samples.”
It comes Yorkshire Water announced the first hospipe ban From Friday, the company aims to conserve water as watering the garden, cleaning of cars and restricting of paddling pools.
Customers who ignore the hospipe ban can withstand a fine of up to £ 1,000.
Experts have warned that human-borne climate change rapid extreme weather such as hotter dryer summer, and recently seen heatwaves, which can push the use of water, such as the supply is rare, more intense and frequent.
A dry was declared Environment agency Across the Yorkshire in June, while the water company of the region entered the drought situation in May in the northwest of England United utilities On Tuesday, he said that there was no plan to announce a similar hosspipe ban.
