Original Note:
Sewer overflow data has risen largely due to increased monitoring. In 2010 only 7% overflow sites were monitored. In 2023 it was 100%, leading to increased reports. Despite a very wet 2023, the incidences of overflows were less was less than the last wet year, 2020. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/environment-agency-publishes-storm-overflow-spill-data-for-2023#:~:text=With%20just%207%25%20of%20storm,2022%20and%2012%2C092%20in%202020.
