It would mean the white clawed native crayfish would be out competed and die, the signals would burrow into the river banks and collapse them into the river, you would be on your way to destroying an eco system.

NR, the rivers in the NE are some of the cleanest in the country - cannot speak for the Tees estury as I have never fished it, but certainly the Tyne and Wear are clean along with the Blyth and the Wansbeck and the other Northumberland rivers are good. All of the freshwater parts of the rivers are good.

They did used to be open sewers, the lot of them. The smell of the Tyne when I was young was - well, uncomparable.

I live next to the Skerne a tributary of the Tees and only 8 miles from the Wear. If you saw what the shit that this summers monsoons have done to many of the rivers you would weep, silage, runoff loaded with fertiliser, mud, sediments, piles of rocksalt stored to close to the water, ponds of pig shit that over flowed. I used to campaign with Greenpeace to clean up our rivers, but these days its just to easy for agricultural slurry to "accidentally" get into the water. The Skerne is BROWN as its not soil or mud

They did similar with the ship canal near me.
You could see all sorts floating down that and if you dropped a match in it it'd probably burst into flames...
The publicized that they'd cleaned it up and it now was so clean it had fish in it...
What they actually did was drain some shipping locks, clean them out, seal them up and refill with clean water with a separate filtration system... lying bastards

The tynes not as clean as what they make out. Sewage over flow pipes go directly into it, theres a number to phone if it looks bad at these points.

Aye most summers cos of farm run off they have to use huge machibnes to oxygenate the Tyne near Hexham as the chemical use up all the oxygen in the water.
