In this webinar, Jo will set out the extent of water pollution caused by highway runoff in the UK, and describe the effects of the toxins in the pollution. She will explain how these harmful discharges fit in with other sources of pollution, and explain how we could potentially raise the profile of the problem. She will go on the describe the treatment solutions that exist for this runoff, and discuss how we could deploy them more cost-effectively by working in partnership with others involved in river restoration.
