Data and Facts - Wading Through MURK

The deeper you go, the murkier the Dirty Waters become. Information is our antidote and torchlight.

If your local group wants to take a deeper dive into local water issues and are drowning in overwhelm, grab the Dirty Water lifeboat to help you navigate the information dead zones and high tide of bureaucratic BS.

For instance, Freedom of Information (FoI) requests are a useful tool to obtain information of any kind from those in power, be they regulatory authorities, government departments, local and unitary authorities, or private companies. However, these requests are not always effectively responded to, particularly if you miss any tricks on how to exercise your rights. Our Information and Data Gaps page here on the RT is your lighthouse in the dark.

The scale of water horror stories and data out there is massive, as you all know. The RT Data and Facts page cannot possibly cover everything, but let’s help you launch your metaphorical Pink Boat to reach Tell the Truth and Act Now Island. Share your links and suggestions for what you need to inform your outreach and community assemblies.
