UK bathing waters are getting cleaner but still remain among the dirtiest in Europe
The highest rates of bathing waters with poor quality recorded in 2016 were found in Ireland (6 bathing waters or 4%) and the United Kingdom (20 bathing waters or 3%). The data is from the latest overview of the EU bathing water quality report released this week by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the European Commission.
