(The longest river in the United Kingdom, the Severn, flows partly in Wales.) However, as the River Churn, sourced at Seven Springs, is 14 mi (23 km) longer than the section of the Thames from its traditional source at Thames Head to the confluence, the overall length of the Thames ...
Severn Trent Water customers were also supportive if helping others came with no or little detriment to them, as were United Utilities customers who raised concerns around deteriorated service levels and the possibility of changes to the taste and hardness of their...

with river runoff accounting for the majority of silicon inputs during the wet season. A strong negative correlation was observed between phytoplankton (diatoms) and silica concentration during the wet season. A drop in major nutrient (silica) levels could be observed, where diatoms flourish [15]...
we found that the taxonomic resolution of the data was still highly variable. For example, the same taxon could be described at multiple taxonomic levels, including species, genus, family and higher levels. We therefore aggregated taxon records to the taxonomic levels which retained all, or the ...
