River Ogmore

Your recent edit to River Ogmore contains a number of assertions that are not confirmed with references. In particular the staments that "....a particularly severe invasion of Japanese knotweed has damaged the ecosystem" and "...has damaged the ecosystem, as did effluents from the adjacent sewage works". Do you have evidence for these assertions of environmental damage  ? If not the edit may be reverted.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   20:08, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Great ref for the Japanese Knotweed problem but what about the sewage effluent. As far as I know the final effluent from the Merthyr Mawr works discharges through a long sea outfall and only storm and emergency overflows take place at the works. I would be quite surprised if environmental damage had been shown to have been caused by these discharges. Happy for you to prove me wrong however.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   20:52, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
