Elsewhere there is more river pollution and 10,000 fish have been killed. 'About 10,000 fish have been killed by an agricultural pollutant, the Environment Agency have said. An investigation revealed roach and trout died in the River Mole, South Molton. The Environment Agency said the source of the chemical-based pollutant which impacted 5km (3.1 mile) of a river had been identified and it would now be working out how it got into the river. The results of the investigation should be released later this week.' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-49242485 Are these rivers supplying water to water companies and if so, what about the dangers to human and animal life?
