It was great to hear about #Chester and the River Dee tonight at @chesterscibar.bsky.social. There was a bit of history, georgraphy, ecology, engineering - all things that scibar loves
#DYK The Dee is the most managed river in Europe?
More water is extracted from the Dee than from the whole of the Lake District!
