Safer Seas & Rivers Service

Ensure your aquatic adventures are both enjoyable and safe with the Safer Seas & Rivers Service app, a distinctive nationwide Water Quality service designed to keep you updated on water conditions throughout the UK. This free tool is an essential aid for swimmers, surfers, sailors, and all water enthusiasts looking to steer clear of pollution in over 450 locations across the country.

Enjoying the UK's beautiful waters can sometimes be marred by the unpleasant reality of untreated sewage and wastewater discharge from sewer overflows. Additional pollution from heavy rainfall can introduce a mix of contaminants from various sources into the water, posing risks to health and the environment.

Navigate the waters confidently with real-time pollution alerts from this service. Users have access to vital beach information, including tide times and lifeguard services, ensuring they are well-informed before diving into their next water activity. Beyond alerting to current water quality conditions, it is instrumental in advocating for cleaner waters.

Playing an active role in water quality issues is seamless, enabling engagement in campaigns or reaching out to Members of Parliament or water company CEOs directly when alerts are triggered. Reporting illnesses after being in the water through this platform contributes to a larger effort to expose the true impact of sewage pollution on health.

For those eager to contribute to the fight against sewage pollution while keeping their health a top priority, downloading the app provides the ability to make well-informed decisions on where and when to enter the water and join a collective voice advocating for cleaner and safer UK waters.
