The River Cam and its tributaries are suffering badly from over-abstraction, agricultural run-off and sewage discharge leaving them in poor condition with very low flow levels and dirty water. We believe this vital chalk stream river system, so integral to the character and nature of Cambridge's landscape, must be helped to recover to a more natural and clean state. The Climate Emergency makes a bad situation worse.
