Helping communities to help their rivers

The world's rivers have never been under so much stress. Even in the UK and Ireland, rivers are under huge pressure from water abstraction, pollution, and other human activities.

The UK Rivers Network brings people together to create a better future for rivers and inland waters in the UK and Ireland.
