Tideway Reconncting Londoners with the River Thames
London relies on a 150-year-old sewer system built for a population less than half its current size. As a result, millions of tonnes of raw sewage spills, untreated, into the River Thames each year. The solution is to construct the Thames Tideway Tunnel, a 25km Super Sewer tunnel that will clean up and reconnect Londoners with the River Thames.
