Harsher penalties for water pollution

Harsher penalties to businesses and agricultura  sectors that continue to pollute our waterways, 
The fines at present are minimal, 
Even considering jail terms for continued perpetrators would also be a viable option! 
Here in northern Ireland lough neath is in a terrible state! 
Individuals should be held to account and a measly couple of thousand £ fines just doesnt cut it! 
Its shocking that these companies are being allowed to pollute the waterways and destroy entire ecosystems!

Why is this important?

Simple answer is, this is our drinking water! This is our environment! 
We are practically living in open sewers! 
Our wastewater infrastructure need massive investment to bring them up to scratch! 
Stop the bonuses of CEO and managements would be a start! Cap salaries and stop so called expense, the government will soon notice there is more money available towards upgrading the water works than they think. . Too many screaming off the crop with public money
