While it did not kill any fish, it killed their food supply.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Irwell took a year to recover completely after the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Pollution has a knock-on effect for wildlife, say experts, affecting animals dependent on wildlife in the river for food and birds having to look elsewhere for a food source. Bats and other wildlife, can also be affected.<\/p>\n<p>Perpetrators who cause river pollution could be prosecuted and face penalties.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Duddy said residents can do their bit to make sure pollutants don\u2019t end up in the river.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cThe two simple messages we can give are: \u2018There should only be rain down the drain\u2019 and the only thing that should go down the sewer are the 3Ps- pee, poop and paper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that resident should be careful that too much fertilisers are not used in gardening and that they don\u2019t end up in the drain in their gardens.
