Free public lectures by Professor Carolyn Roberts, Frank Jackson Professor of the Environment and IES Vice President

The Thames is often hailed as an international success story. Engineering works solved 19th century sewage problems, improving Londoner's health. Salmon, otters and birdlife are now reported to be flourishing along the Thames and the waterfront has been reinvigorated with new buildings. On the other hand, Thames Water PLC has been heavily fined for environmental offences that compromised human health, contaminated land and affected ecosystem. Levels of chemicals in river water are high. Will the Thames Tideway tunnel solve flooding and pollution?
