River Honddu pollution may not be as bad as it obviously could have been.  An 'accident' waiting to happen almost anywhere,.

Slurry which caused "major pollution" in Monmouthshire has been contained.

Up to 450,000 litres (99,000 gallons) of slurry was in a lagoon which failed and a "significant discharge" went into a tributary of the River Honddu.

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said temporary catch pits and trenches had been dug and the stream was also diverted to take out the slurry.

NRW officers have also been assessing any impact on the River Monnow and River Wye following Tuesday's spill.

Chris Rees, from the agency, said he expected it would take at least one week to clear the slurry.

He added: "No doubt there's an effect - that's clear to see but rivers recover very quickly and I'm confident that we've contained as much of the slurry as possible."
