Our website has been bringing you the latest UK river headlines, at least once a week, since 1999. If you use RSS (a way of automatically being notified when websites you follow are updated), why not subscribe to our river news feed? Feel free to serve news on your own website using our feed, but please would you be kind enough to make a link back to our website if you do so (it helps other people to discover us too).
The latest news items start on our home page and gradually move to the 2012 news archive. You'll find older news stories going all the way back to 1995 further down this page.
