Improving river health and tackling storm overflows
Cumbria is home to the most beautiful rivers in the UK. But with the changes brought about by a growing population, increased development, climate change, and other factors, we need to work together to protect them now more than ever.
So we’re actively working to improve rivers, lakes and waterways, and tackling storm overflows to boost river health across the county.
