How clean is the Taff now? It used to be filthy with all of the industry.

it's been cleaned up from a lot of the industrial pollution, but there is still an awful lot of sewage dumped into the river, especially when there is a lot of rain. many rivers in England and Wales have the same problem. Scotland's are. a lot better though

Raw sewage or industrial sewage, if that makes any sense!

England's rivers are even worse, only 14% were rated good recently
