Independent journalism on water, public health and the environment
WATERSHED partners with national and international media to run high impact investigations covering all issues affecting the freshwater and marine environment.
Tales from the frontline of the water crisis. Each episode includes an interview with someone experiencing the crisis first hand, followed by an interview with a world class expert, exploring the causes and possible solutions.
Pollution from farms has prevented housing developments being approved by 35 councils, analysis by The Times and Watershed reveals.
Watershed worked with the Guardian and ITV News to expose high levels of E coli in oysters around the country. “Very high” levels of E coli found in oysters and mussels have led to the closure of 11 shellfish production zones in Cornwall.
Water is being overlooked in climate planning and funding, experts have said, despite half the world’s population facing acute water stress by 2030. The UN Secretary-General said “vampiric overuse” and pollution are draining the “precious lifeblood” while climate change is “wreaking havoc”.
Internazionale Magazine, the global current affairs weekly, picks up Watershed's PFAS work from the Forever Pollution Project. The article look at the most common sources of exposure to the potential consequences for human health and the environment.
Exclusive: A chemicals company is releasing large quantities of a PFAS “forever chemical” described as being “very persistent, mobile and toxic” into the River Wyre in Lancashire each year, and is not breaking any rules.
Watershed Investigations takes to the Thames for Sky News' Climate Show to talk about their investigations into PFAS pollution in drinking water, rivers, sediments and fish.
Data obtained by Watershed Investigations shows PFAS 'forever chemicals' in England’s wild fish at high levels.
Pressure is building on UK ministers to tighten regulations on PFAS “forever chemicals” as Watershed's research shows vast numbers of people are drinking water with levels that would be banned in the US.
