Datchet, UK. 29th December, 2023. Thames Water have been discharging sewage from their Windsor Sewage Treatment Works into the River Thames today. Some of it has collected on the River Thames in the village of Datchet in Berkshire as well as in Windsor. Water companies are legallly allowed to discharge excess storm water into rivers, which can include sewage, during times of heavy rain. Many environmentalists, however, believe that the law should be changed to stop sewage being discharged into rivers and the sea around the UK. Credit: Maureen McLean/Alamy Live News
