UK Sports Bodies Form Alliance to Combat Water Pollution

Seven UK sports governing bodies have established the Clean Water Alliance to address critical water quality issues impacting sports and public health.

The alliance, representing 450,000 members, demands urgent government action to tackle pollution in British waters.
High levels of pollution, including E.coli, have directly affected sports events and athletes' health, prompting the formation of the alliance.
The Clean Water Alliance aims to ensure safe water conditions for sports and recreation by 2030, emphasizing the need for real-time water quality data.
Government and water companies are urged to enhance monitoring and accountability to prevent further pollution.
The alliance also proposes changing 'bathing waters' to 'recreation waters' in government policy to better reflect the variety of water-based activities.
