How it works

One picture, many sources

🛰️

Official data

Environment Agency bathing-water samples & classifications, plus South West Water storm-overflow monitoring (EDM).

🌧️

Conditions

Rainfall and tide data put each spill and sample in context — heavy rain drives overflows.

🧪

Independent samples

Community and citizen-scientist water tests, where available.

📣

Your reports

Pollution sightings and post-swim illness reports from people on the ground.

How the risk rating works →

Got ill after swimming?

Build a timestamped evidence pack linking your swim to nearby spills, rainfall, tides and official samples around that date. Useful for complaints — correlation, not proof of causation.

Build an evidence report

See something? Report pollution

Scum, sewage smell, wet wipes, discoloured water, dead fish or foam — add a photo, time and place to put it on the map.
