SocietyGiant tunnel proposed to tackle Windermere sewage

A £3.6bn plan backed by United Utilities and clean-water campaigners would build a tunnel up to 12 miles (19km) long to carry sewage away from Windermere, England’s largest lake. Campaigners say sewage and treated effluent entering the lake are behind summer algal blooms in some areas.
