The Albany Park restoration project has been shortlisted for the @rrc River Prize! Working with @EnfieldCouncil we took the river out of concrete, creating a dynamic river corridor for the Turkey Brook to flow through, whilst reducing flood risk to over 400 homes in Enfield!

Due to the prolonged hot weather fish have become trapped in shallow pools in the #Mole between Dorking and Leatherhead. Today we carried out a fish rescue in the smaller pools that are a risk of drying out and relocated them upstream. #ClimateChange

Thames Water has been fined £4 million for discharging an estimated half a million litres of raw sewage into the Seacourt and Hinksey streams in Oxford in July 2016. Judge Francis Sheridan said this was another very serious breach of legislation in an area of outstanding beauty.

Residents near our temporary flood barrier in #Godalming last night made SOUP and TEA for our staff on site... We KNOW the mental anguish a flood causes... and you still do that... THANK YOU! The barrier's still up, but we can see tarmac! #stormdennis #floodaware 🍜🍜☕️☕️

Both large barges and a tender vessel have been removed from our land at Hurst Park in #Molesey and will now be destroyed. As part of a multi-agency partner operation, a lot of other vessels have been served eviction notices and action has been taken against other offences.

Even in the midst of a heatwave remember that inland waters can still be very cold. Never jump in as the depth may vary and there can be unseen hazards. Here's our water safety story with partners @RBFRSofficial and @RBWM at tinyurl.com/3a45erkj

Last night we lit up the #Thames Barrier to commemorate the lives that were sadly lost from the devastating floods of 1953. The Waverley Committee's report into the floods, led to the Thames Barrier being built. #1953 #floods #ThamesBarrier
