Clean Water Now: Join The Rivers Trust and environment groups in demanding the Water Reform Bill protects and restores rivers

This opportunity can’t be missed. Email your MP today: demand that the upcoming water law reflects the changes that our rivers deserve!

The Rivers Trust

26/02/26

Are you fed up with sewage? Tired of pollution? Frustrated by the state of our rivers?

Us too.

We believe that rivers should be wild, healthy and natural. That they should be fit for the future. Help us make this vision a reality.

Our rivers are in crisis. Join The Rivers Trust and a coalition of over 40 environment groups in a new campaign, #CleanWaterNow, demanding that the upcoming Water Reform Bill is one that our rivers, wildlife, and communities deserve.

The UK government has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a new law that protects and restores our waters. They must ensure that the bill reflects our asks:

  • Stop the polluters − clamp down on sewage, restrict intensive agriculture and ban toxic chemical pollution

  • Fix the broken system − stop water companies putting profit before people and nature, with a tough new regulator focused on nature and local communities involved

  • Restore nature − create new natural habitats along rivers and coastlines, building natural resilience to climate change and bringing wildlife to communities around the country

Our rivers can’t wait any longer. Email your MP today using the new tool below, and make your voice clear.
