The report will be launched at an upcoming event to be held by the utility company at the end of May in London. The event - Why London's River needs the Thames Tunnel - will highlight the environmental case for the proposed "supersewer".
Combined Sewer Overflow discharges are now one of the last major sources of pollution to be found in the tidal River Thames. The report will examine the impact of sewage from London's over-stretched sewage network polluting the capital’s river and how it affects the wildlife in and around the Thames Tideway. Thames said the report will also highlight the ecological benefits of the Thames Tunnel and why its construction is essential to help protect and sustain the ecosystems within the Thames Tideway.
Speakers at the invitation-only event will include Tony Juniper, environmentalist, writer and sustainability adviser, Roger De Freitas, Hammersmith Society, West London River Group and Thames21 and Jill Goddard from the Thames Estuary Partnership.
