My name is Laura and I am a Land and Water Environment Officer for East Kent. I have taken over this account from @StephIllsleyEA, and will be tweeting about my work with land and water in South #London and #Kent

It has been another wet week across England. River flows on almost all of the rivers that we report are classed as normal or higher for the time of year. #rainandriverdata gov.uk/government/col…

Yesterday our officers were walking part of the #sarrepenn. We were testing water quality as part of Water Framework Directive investigations in the catchment.

#DYK that dog poo contains high levels of potentially harmful bacteria? 💩 Nobody wants to swim in water that could make them ill. 🤮 Be responsible, bag your dog poo and bin it. #BagItBinIt The Kennel Club Dogs Trust 💛🐶

#DYK that rainfall can wash dog poo into bathing waters through surface water drains and streams, even if the dog fouls far from the beach? 🏖️ Join the legion of responsible dog owners, bag up your dog poo and put it in the bin, any bin will do! #BagItBinIt

I am attending Incident Management training at Fire Service College. Gloucestershire Fire & Rescue service gave us a tour of their Environmental Protection Unit to show us all of the important pollution prevention equipment the fire service has available to them.

#StourFieldTeam worked hard all day in cold water and in wet banks to remove this huge tree blockage from the #RiverStour at #Chartham

Roadside drains can lead directly to rivers and the sea. Show water some love and don’t pour waste liquids or throw litter down roadside drains. Join those protecting the environment. Check local civic amenity sites for what can be recycled #RainDownTheDrain #BinIt4Beaches

We know you dog owners love the beach whatever the weather! Don't forget to pick up any poo & pop it in the bin #BeautyOfTheBeach
