Endangered species are being put at risk by pollution from farming and forestry industries, which has led to poorer quality in hundreds of Scottish waterways and dozens being rated ‘bad’ or ‘poor’.

Fertilisers, pesticides, slurry and other substances can have “severe impacts on plants and animals in rivers”, reduce drinking water quality, and pose a risk to human health, according to the Scottish Environment Agency (Sepa).
