正文(英文) | Multi-million pound investment brings Yorkshire improvementsThe Environment Agency has worked together with partners to invest £5.59m in environmental improvements across Yorkshire in 2020/21. More than 100km of river has been improved as part of the Environment Agency’s programme of environmental improvements across Yorkshire. The programme, which includes more than 40 projects, has led to the creation or improvement of 570 hectares of habitat, while 36,000 trees have been planted. Projects include removing barriers to fish movement, river restoration, measures to improve water quality and natural flood management which protect the natural environment, make rivers more resilient to climate change and boost wildlife. The figures are released during the Environment Agency’s #WaterWarriors campaign, which launched last week and urges people to consider how their actions can affect water quality and take action to protect blue spaces for everyone. Delivered by Catchment PartnershipsThe Yorkshire Environment Programme is managed and delivered by the Environment Agency working mainly in partnership with government backed Catchment Partnerships, bringing together river and wildlife trusts, local authorities and other organisations to improve the environment. There were 85 partners involved in this year’s £5.59million programme contributing more than £2.5million in funding to the projects. Next year the programme will be even bigger with investment increasing to more than £6million, helping to build a resilient and green future for the region. Key projects progressed in 2020/21 include:

Whether you are at home or away this summer, become a #WaterWarrior by taking small steps to protect water quality such as:
The campaign is also urging people visiting beaches, lakes and rivers to ‘know before you go’ by checking the Environment Agency’s Swimfo website which provides instant, easy access to information on over 400 bathing waters in England, including the latest water quality classification – and, for some bathing waters, when warnings are issued due to the temporary effects on water quality after a rainy day or high tides. Having this information at the fingertips ensures people have the most up-to-date information before they take the plunge. Joint advice with Public Health England is also available on open water swimming – that’s swimming anywhere that isn’t a public pool - at Swim healthy
