Do you think that this dangerous increase in E-Coli in the Thames is due to the reduction in industrial and agricultural chemicals which were pouring in in the 1960s and 70s ? Did they keep diseases down ?
Nobody ever mentioned the water quality then. Oh yes ! it was a national industry so it was OK for the public to swim in it.

I remember in the 1970's that there were Salmon in the Thames  ;D

Just found this using search engine

After previous unsuccessful attempts to restore salmon to the Thames, in 1974 a lone salmon was caught downstream of London, following significant improvements in water quality. This discovery acted as a primer for restoring salmon to the Thames and stocking of juveniles began in 1975.
