Did you know❓
One litre of milk is as damaging to a river as 40 litres of raw sewage.
Organic matter such as milk, food, dirty water, silage effluent and slurry is highly polluting to watercourses. The bacteria that is already present in water uses organic matter to multiply and at the same time it removes oxygen from the water.
Without oxygen the fish and small insect life in watercourses cannot survive.
Substances such as oil, pesticides, sheep dip, fertilisers and silt can all pollute watercourses
If you allow any polluting matter to enter surface waters or groundwater, you will be committing a pollution offence.
