Today is World Water Day 2025.
But 27 years of Executive mismanagement has left our water infrastructure circling the drain:
* 100% of our rivers fail to meet ‘good’ status
* Lough Neagh, supplying 40% of our drinking water, is a toxic soup
* 19,000 homes stalled due to insufficient wastewater capacity
Decades of systemic underinvestment threaten:
* Public health: Raw sewage in Belfast Lough exceeding legal limits
* Economic growth: New housing at a 60-year low (just 5,000 in 2023)
