"Paul Whitehouse travels through the north of England, looking at the impact water companies have on its rivers.

He meets concerned locals in Yorkshire looking to highlight the health of the River Wharfe, a conservationist who warns of the ecological decline in iconic Lake Windemere, and the man at the front of the battle for the country's waterways, Feargal Sharkey."
