So how do you earn a living doing so though we work your way up from home without a degree?

Really well done. You bravely threw yourself in, Livia. I gained a new understanding of the world, and a better appreciation of my life.

How can I get your book Walking the Holy Land?

I loved this series! I hope we will find out about the road that was supposed to go in. And if it benefited them or not.

Where can I find her work? She was incredible in this doc!

Her investment gave us a true view of how universal emotions and life in groups can be. The individual preferences of beauty are contrasted by truths like jealousy, greed, and unfortunately their belief that a road and more things will increase happiness. Amazing work.

Dad's day 2023... We watched a brilliant programme about the chalk stream beds of England. Can't believe I'm hearing this 18months later.

The Government is corrupt. Big business is corrupt. Housing is at breaking point. The uk is has begun an unstoppable decent into absolute chaos.

Add it to the ever-growing list of other huge problems facing life on Earth this century. We're a species completely out of control.

well done

Clean rivers in England might be a rarity

Love from Pakistan ❤

Too many people now that’s why

How does she look the same with and without makeup? 2 days in the wild and my hair would go crazy.

Basically, this country is overpopulated with humans

John, thank you for posting this interview with Vedangi. She is a courageous and inspiring woman and I'll be cheering her on as she attempts to cycle around the world the second time. GO VEDANGI!!! Greetings from Victoria BC🙏🙏

Another nice chalk streams vid, but doesn't explain what the fix is - and there is a fix, it's called Chalk Streams First (look it up). The idea is that the water companies back off aquifer abstraction to a sustainable 10% of recharge, (Our river Ivel is in the top 5 of most abstracted chalk rivers at 53% of recharge). Ground water levels will then rise, the springs will run again and the river will have a natural flow all year round as it once had. Obviously the water needed for Public Water Supply still has to come from somewhere but it's not so hard to abstract the same water from the river much lower down and bring it back by pipeline. In our case, all the infrastructure to do this has been in place for nearly 50 years but, for their own reasons, the water companies choose to barely use it. revIvel is working hard to change this and two quite exhaustive studies have unequivocally proved CSF is a viable solution for the Ivel. The current battle is to get them to actually try it because the Water companies are World experts at delaying things they think might be, or become, commercially disadvantageous. If CSF works as expected for the Ivel, it will serve as an example of how all chalk streams might be saved.

River Darenth is half the river it used to be It needs cleaning

Farmers sucking them dry

They began to die when water was made a commodity..and it has grown worst with big companies greed....

When the environment minster doesn't even respond, you know that rot is running very deep

In my area in Sunderland there used to three very active streams, there catchment area was to the west of the town but with the house building in the area they have almost dried. It's only with the wet weather we have seen them trickle again. That whole area sloped towards the east and in days gone by they would run into the North Sea.

Surely importing third world since the 1950’s doubling population and therefore water demand is far more important then England’s eco system…. After all diversity is our strength… English tax payers are happy to keep these wonderful cultural enrichers on benefits due the way country is kept crime and filth free….

GREED!!

It's ironic that all these streams used to be salmon rivers, but overfishing ruined them, hence there wass no dead post-spawning salmon to die and fertilize the river. Same thing with the Eels. everyone had traps on their stretch and now they are a protected species. It'snot just the Water companies, but they are the worst of the bunch!

Never forget Thatcher's beginning of ruining Britain.

Legacy of Thatcher

Blame the people in power.

Thanks for sharing your adventure with the world

With millions more homes being built, our water sources are being driven to extingsion . Our Government wants more homes but not the infrastucture to support the homes with water gas and electricity .

The chalk streams are so beautiful, they must be saved

The country has been overpopulated by a power greedy political class only interested in one thing GDP. Blaming the water companies is simply a diversion tactic.

This is a gross oversimplification. I'm glad we're talking about this issue, but saying it's all the water companies is going to lead us down the wrong path in trying to fix it. - A huge amount is abstracted by agriculture and they do so with far less regulation and oversight in place. - When Pippa Heylings says that water companies are responsible for our rivers, that's plain wrong. They have the same duty as other permit holders to do no harm, but the EA is the responsible enforcement body. The Tories have cut and cut funding for the EA over more than a decade, so when abstracters, incl. water companies, over-abstract, there isn't the amount of testing and investigation necessary to do anything about it. - People don't realise but the UK is a very water scarce country. Anecdotally that feels wrong, but we are. Chalk streams are often the first to show the impacts of climate change because they respond more intensely to dropping groundwater levels. While abstraction plays a role, so does climate change. We can sit here and whine about water companies, god knows everybody loves to do that at the moment, but we need concerted action from government if we're going to address cross-cutting issues like this.

thank you

Cowards

England just loves to destroy eveeything they have....

I am surprised that this is being permitted after all it affects the rich as they will not be able to fish these extremely expensive and exclusive Trout streams. Surely Starmer should step in to protect his mates fun. There must be money in it for him.

fort that thumb nail was a flyer for all the people looking at life in jail shame

Another consequence of mass migration, overpopulation, creating a huge stress on the ecology of the UK and now that the labour government has come in they promise to suppress so called "NIMBYs" and concrete over the UK. More devastation of UK nature to come. Millions more economic immigrants need housing, water, food, fuel, create sewage, travel, need somewhere to work.

Host is shallow + incompetent. He talks over her countless times! It's just lucky she's so wonderful + enthusiastic!

Nationalize the water back

England is finished. Killed by greed, ignorance, carelessness and narcissism.

The main problem that no-one wants to talk about is there's too many people!! We need to quench the thirst of an over populated country and water crops to feed us. It's easy to blame water companies and I agree there's much more they can do but I can't see how things can be fixed unless there's less of us or new technologies are developed.

Absolutely tragic. I weep for our future

Vote Tory, get s-t.

As a avid fisherman, we’ve gone too far and ruined all the things of worth

Too many people need too much water

I don’t believe for a second the disaster of privatising water in this country is by any means an accident.

Make it illegal for thr water companies to take water from there boom easy if they can't find a work around get someone else until they can change and find a solution. I like how people say oh water company's are meant to protect the chalk lakes😂😂😂😂 no there not like Amy other company they there to make money and provide a service they don't care about your minor opinions like be real for once

I used to be the postman to the Walker family house in the village where he lived. His late father Peter would give me updates from his office at the house, it was very exciting to see the journey he made. You could follow a link and see the progress . Good memories and an inspiring story. Best wishes Keith
