Shot on assignment for Upstream Thinking

Southwest Water and The Cornwall Wildlife Trust’s Upstream Thinking programme works with volunteer groups, farmers and landowners in Cornwall. Local farmers and the Trust's advisers work together to find ways of minimising river pollution. As a result of the project’s work, significantly less farmyard manure, slurry and soil has entered Cornish waterways, meaning cleaner river water, which is not only great for the environment but also saves money in the water treatment process.
