Safer Seas & Rivers Service 5.2.7

An ocean dip with a side of dysentery? Not a pleasant thought. The award-winning, free-to-download app offers a national Water Quality service that provides up-to-date information on the water conditions across various locations.

Living in the UK comes with its challenges, especially when it involves water quality issues. Sewage and wastewater flow unchecked from numerous sewer overflows, creating an unpleasant environment.

The impact of heavy rainfall adds to the problem, washing pollutants from various sources like farming, septic tanks, roads, and urban areas into the ocean. The result is far from picturesque.

The Safer Seas and River Service simplifies the process of checking water quality, helping users find suitable locations for swimming, surfing, or sailing while receiving pollution alerts for over 450 spots in the UK.

Aside from water quality updates, the app includes useful beach information such as tide times and lifeguard services. Additionally, users can actively participate in campaigns or contact their MP or Water Company CEO regarding water quality concerns.

Users also have the option to report sickness if they fall ill after using the water. This initiative aids in raising awareness about sewage pollution's impact on human health.

To promote water safety and help combat sewage pollution, consider downloading the Safer Seas & Rivers Service app. By joining the campaign, you can make informed decisions about when and where to enter the water.
