there is no treatment for it the drains from most roads go straight into the water courses.Yes. Probably takes less treatment than sewage though.

Mm, is that right.Most water companies have paid very little dividend for several years to those who own it . They are in the main yours and mine pension funds
Probably should get some treatment though, when you consider the hoo-ha about how dirty the rivers are. Some videos going about of very nasty scummy water draining off roads into watercourses; all that brake dust and rubber/plastic contamination can’t be good.there is no treatment for it the drains from most roads go straight into the water courses.
but if the highways cant keep up the proper road base how can they do anything extra? honestly a lot of the roads are in an awful state and need rebuild from bottom up to stop sinkage. the whole subject is a uxb waiting to explode. only a matter of time....Probably should get some treatment though, when you consider the hoo-ha about how dirty the rivers are.

I mean, when you consider that some folks would like to see farmers put in jail for allowing a cow to poop into the river
I know i can poop in the sea!!If a human poops straight into a river can they be fined? Just a question?
yep… don’t get me started!but if the highways cant keep up the proper road base how can they do anything extra? honestly a lot of the roads are in an awful state and need rebuild from bottom up to stop sinkage. the whole subject is a uxb waiting to explode. only a matter of time....
paying people need to wake up and see whats going on with their money they are bullied into putting into these organisations
All those yachties in their fibreglass ecological time capsules just pump it straight out no, um, messing.I know i can poop in the sea!!
Most modern road schemes will involve separate drainage schemes that include settlement and balancing ponds to help reduce pollution from run off. There's also often a system of penstocks or valves and tanks to handle fuel and chemical spillages on major roads.there is no treatment for it the drains from most roads go straight into the water courses.

Yes on new roads they have done a good job but old roads far outweight the new ones? Anyway farmers pollute, Councils pollute and water companies are the biggest polluters... at least we all want to fix it these days? In the past just flushing it away was simple and cheap!Most modern road schemes will involve separate drainage schemes that include settlement and balancing ponds to help reduce pollution from run off.

The by roads a roads and b roads don't have anything like,e that around here for miles I know them like the back of my handMost modern road schemes will involve separate drainage schemes that include settlement and balancing ponds to help reduce pollution from run off.

Exactly.. we farmers know the road network pollution monitoring better than the Councils and Water Companies and could fix the problem for them for half the cost...The by roads a roads and b roads don't have anything like,e that around here for miles I know them like the back of my hand
How much will the council pay me for sediment and balancing ponds on my land now i dont get BPS.. Answer... Nothing!!Most modern road schemes will involve separate drainage schemes that include settlement and balancing ponds to help reduce pollution from run off.

How much will my water company or DEFRA pay me?? You know the Answer!!How much will the council pay me for sediment and balancing ponds on my land now i dont get BPS.. Answer... Nothing!!
Yes, but consider where the majority of the polluting mileage occurs - towns/cities with combined sewer systems and main routes, dual carriageways and motorways. The amount produced on minor routes is small in comparison.The by roads a roads and b roads don't have anything like,e that around here for miles I know them like the back of my hand
Straight into the minor watercourses sometimes that's a river .
Literally Straight off.
Some may not have noticed that the vast majority of roads have been in place for 50 or 100s of years but river pollution only started with the mad rush to build new housing estates with their sewage overflowing into old sewage works.Exactly.. we farmers know the road network pollution monitoring better than the Councils and Water Companies and could fix the problem for them for half the cost...
