The Wider Image: The Great British Sewage Dump

Detritus and sewage swirl together near a storm overflow discharging untreated sewage into a brook feeding the River Kennet near Marlborough, central England, Britain, September 5, 2024. In England, water companies discharged sewage for 3.6 million hours in 2023, polluting streams, rivers and coastlines, littering them with sanitary products and condoms, damaging ecosystems and habitats, and scaring away tourists.
