23 million chickens are being reared at any one time in sheds known as Intensified Poultry Units (IPUs) where they eat a vast quantity of imported feed.
Rain then washes the surplus phosphates and nitrates into the river, fertilising the microscopic algae, whose populations then explode, turning the water green or brown.
A myriad of activist groups dedicated to saving the Wye have monitored and publicised its decline, making its survival a political issue in the current general election campaign.
