Not only is it unpleasant to look at, it also has a negative effect on the waters ecological balance, thereby upsetting the waters ecosystem leading to "Dead stretches" of water which then suffer from diminished flora & fauna, not a pleasant thought.

I read about it yesterday

Na Margaret, there's no known cure for that:)

Re: Canal thru Hyndburn to be shut down

On August the seventh I've arranged a trip for fifty people to have a three hour cruise on the canal.

I'm just hoping Skipton won't be affected.

Otherwise I'm going to have to think where you can take fifty people, quite a few in wheelchairs, on a Saturday afternoon in Yorkshire.

I think that the reservoirs-like the one at Rishton-were there to top up the canal when the level was low.
