A new report by the Environment Agency says river levels may fall by 80% as a result of climate change and the growing population.

An excellent article in yesterday’s ‘Observer’ by Robin McKie highlights the need for the implementation of emergency measures if we are not to lose some of our most important waterways.

It is absolutely staggering that, on the subject of rivers drying up - and that's according to the EA, which is supposed to have the job of protecting them - and nobody posts. Except me. Typical apathetic, useless, forelock tugging anglers

Mark, what is there to add? Its not even restricted to one region; rivers I know that have run dry this year: Itchen Levant Kennet Teme Windrush Lavant Thames Wey Great Ouse Cherwell So what are you doing to improve matters on your local river Nene, as though it may not have run dry, it did stop flowing in places?

But what is your comment/solution Mark, rather than your bottom line. There have been a few threads along this line recently, including the one below, started by yourself. Surely there is only so much you can say without going over the same issues over and over again? Jerry http://www.fishingmagic.com/forums/bait-box/264407-kennets-dying-throes.html?highlight=kennet

Doing nothing shouldn't be an option. I trust the ATr is tlking but this is a serious issue that needs attention drawing to it. The ATr should get a bit more militant and organise a march on London

The ATr should get a bit more militant and organise a march on London So what exactly are the ATr doing? Supposition is no better than doing nothing and basically anyone could use; they "trust" the EA are pursuing the issue, no difference is there?
