A shockingly high number of illegal sewage spills polluted Windermere, Britain's largest lake, throughout the entirety of last year.
Campaigners utilized water company data to reveal 140 days of illegal discharges, exceeding previous years' totals significantly.
The water company, United Utilities, disputed the findings, claiming inaccuracies within the campaigners' analysis of their data.
Despite these claims, investigations by regulators are underway, highlighting the urgent need for improved water infrastructure and management.
